NEWPORT BEACH (California), Mar 10 (AP): Bernhard Langer outlasted Jay Haas in the Toshiba Classic on Sunday, birdieing the final hole of regulation to force a playoff and winning with a birdie when Haas missed a 4-foot putt on the seventh extra hole.
"You hate to get that far and not be able to finish it off," said Haas, the 2007 winner. "I hit a pretty good putt. ... I didn't think I missed it."
Langer, the 50-year-old German star who won the 1985 and 1993 Masters, has two victories in nine career Champions Tour starts. Last October, he won the Administaff Small Business Classic in Texas in his fourth event on the 50-and-over tour.
