Bernhard Langer made a short birdie putt on the first playoff hole to defeat Doug Barron and win the Dominion Energy Charity Classic in Richmond, Va. on Sunday. Langer, who turned 64 in August, became the oldest winner in PGA Tour Champions history.
Bernhard Langer watches his tee shot in the 17th hole during the last day of the Dominion Energy Charity Classic golf tournament at Country Club of Virginia on Sunday, Oct. 24, 2021, in Richmond, Va.
"Doug played a great tournament. It comes down to the putt. That's how tight it is out here, but it's an awesome feeling," Langer said. "I haven't won since Tucson last year. It's been a while, but that's how much sweeter it is." Langer posted a final-round 69 with four birdies and a bogey at The Country Club of Virginia, finishing the tournament at 14-under 202. He entered Sunday two shots behind leader Steve Flesch.
"I wasn't playing Bernhard -- I know he's going to make a 4 -- so I was playing against myself," Barron said. "I didn't hit a good drive, and I hit a decent second shot. I thought I hit a decent chip and left myself more than I wanted.Barron made five birdies and one bogey on his round. The pair finished two strokes better than Flesch, who settled for third after a 1-over 73.
