Langer's fifth US Seniors win pushes season's

earnings up to near $3million


By ASSOCIATED PRESS
PEBBLE BEACH, California — Bernhard Langer pulled away with three straight birdies on the back nine at Pebble Beach and cruised to a three-shot victory at the PURE Insurance Championship, his fifth victory of the year and the 34th of his US PGA Tour (Senior) Champions career.
The Florida-based German star had never won at the iconic seaside venue on the Monterey Peninsula. It was also his first win since he turned 60 last month. He earned $300,000 to push his season earnings to near $3 million and extend his lead over Scott McCarron on the Charles Schwab Cup money list as he seeks his ninth money title in 10 seasons.

Langer closed with a 67 for a three-day total of 198 at the pro-am event, which pairs professionals with junior golfers from the First Tee program and is contested at Pebble Beach and Poppy Hills. He and his partner also won the pro-am competition.
Jerry Kelly pulled even with Langer by making eagle on the par-5 sixth hole and again with a birdie at the par-3 12th. Langer then took command with birdies on 13, 14 and 15. Kelly closed with six straight pars for a 67 to finish alone in second.
Langer’s victories this year include three of the five senior majors. His win total trails only Hale Irwin’s 45.
