Bernhard Langer wins Insperity Invitational for 1st title this year

 

THE WOODLANDS, Texas (AP) — Bernhard Langer won his first PGA Tour Champions event of the year when he saved par on the final hole for a 2-under 70 and a one-shot victory in the Insperity Invitational.

 

Langer had to rally from as many as four shots behind in the final round at the TPC Woodlands. He birdied two straight holes around the turn, added birdies on both par 5s on the back nine and then had to scramble for par.

 

Paul Goydos (68) led for much of the back nine until a bogey on the 18th hole. He tied for second with Jeff Maggert and Bart Bryant, who each had a 69.

 

The 60-year-old Langer won for the 37th time on the PGA Tour Champions, which trails only Hale Irwin's 45. It was Langer's fourth win at the Insperity Invitational.
