The 59-year-old Langer won the Chubb Classic for the fourth time, becoming the oldest winner in tour history.
He won at 64 years, 5 months, 23 days to push his victory total to 43 on the 50-and-over tour and win for the 16th straight season.
I thought that it was almost impossible to reach that record. I would be right there if I had won a few of those.
The oldest tour winner in October was the German star.
I love to compete and I work hard at it. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out the game.
On the Black Course at Tiburon Golf Club, where he has aced the par-5 18th in each of the last three days, he closed with a 4-under 68 for a 16-under 200. He took a two-stroke lead into the final round and beat Tim Petrovic by three strokes.
The man shot his age with a 64. In the final round, the two-time Masters champion had six birdies and two bogeys.
When I saw it last year, I thought I could win. It is not one for the bomber, where you hit it as far as you can and then hit it again. You have to be very precise.
In the 35th season of the event, Langer has won at TwinEagles and The Quarry. In the last two years, the Charles Schwab Cup seasons points champion also won wire-to-wire. He won the event three times.
The man finished with a 69.
The Germans won the gold again. It was shocking.
He was winless on the senior tour.
Petrovic said he battled back yesterday. Started off over par and kept hammering away, giving myself chances and just fell a couple short.
After a 70, Retief Goosen was third at 12 under.
Brian Gay finished fourth in his senior debut with a 69. Gay turned 50 on December 14. In the fall of 2020, he won the Bermuda Championship on the PGA Tour.
Gay said he would stay close to home and do the rest of the Florida swing on the regular tour. And then come back here in a couple months.
Y.E. Yang, making his tour debut, tied for 12th at 6 under after a 73.
Last year's winner, Steve Stricker, was unable to play as he tries to recover from a virus that hospitalized him late last year.
