Nick Price wins a US Seniors Tour title at last

Zimbabwean Nick Price, a three times Major winner, overcame three double bogeys in an up-and-down final-round 71 and won for the first time on the US Champions (Seniors) Tour today.
Price steadied up in time to par the last three holes after birdieing the 13th, 14th and 15th. He won by two strokes from Larry Nelson in his 39th attempt to win an over-50s event in the States.
The last tournament Price won in American was the 2002 MasterCard Colonial, since when he has played in 111 pro events in America.
The 52-year-old Price overcame his double-bogey barrage with seven birdies to shoot even par and finish at nine-under 204. Nelson, who had four bogeys on the back nine, shot a final-round 70 for a seven-under 206 total in the Outback Pro-Am at TPC Tampa Bay, Florida.
Loren Roberts made a strong push in the final round to finish in a three-way tie at six under with Lonnie Nielsen and Hal Sutton.
Two-time defending champion Tom Watson, who had hip surgery on October 2, struggled throughout the weekend.
