CARNOUSTIE, Scotland — Bernhard Langer won his first senior major title Sunday, holding off a final-round challenge from Corey Pavin for a one-stroke victory in the Senior British Open.
The German shot a 1-over-par 72 at Carnoustie to finish at 5-under 279. Pavin closed with a 70.
Pavin trailed by three shots at the start of the fourth round but cut the gap to two when he birdied his second hole of the day.
Langer survived three-putting both the No. 8 and No. 9 greens. After making birdie at 15, he parred his way to his 11th win in three years on the Champions Tour.
Pavin finished three strokes ahead of Fred Funk, Jay Don Blake, Russ Cochran and Peter Senior.
Pettersson wins in Canada.
Carl Pettersson rallied to win the Canadian Open for his fourth PGA Tour victory, closing with a 3-under-par 67 for a one-stroke victory over Dean Wilson in Toronto.
Pettersson, who set a tournament record with a 10-under 60 in the third round, finished at 14- under 266.
Shin takes Evian Masters.
Jiyai Shin of South Korea birdied the 18th hole to win the Evian Masters, shooting a 5-under 67 to finish at 14-under and one stroke ahead of Morgan Pressel, Na Yeon Choi and Alexis Thompson in Evian-Les- Bains, France.
Shin’s fifth birdie in the final round put her one stroke clear of Pressel, whose putt to force a playoff then rolled agonizingly over the hole without dropping in.
