Ken Tanigawa won the Rogers Charity Classic on Sunday, earning his third PGA Tour Champions title with a final round of 6-under 64, which put him two shots ahead of Richard Green.
Tanigawa, who was two strokes behind Green after setting a Canyon Meadows record with a career-best 61 on Saturday, birdied the par-5 15th and 17th holes to secure the win. He finished at 17-under 193.
On Saturday, he also made a hole-in-one on the 210-yard 16th hole with a 5-iron. This win was his first since the 2019 Senior PGA Championship.
“I’m a bit lost for words,” Tanigawa said. “It’s been a long time since 2019 to be in this position. Time goes by and you wonder if you can win again. To be able to do it, just over the moon.”
Green, who shot a 62 on Saturday, had a 68 on Sunday with bogeys on the par-3 14th and the par-4 17th. The 53-year-old Australian left-hander is still looking for his first win on the 50-and-over tour.
Darren Clarke (65) and Jason Caron (67) tied for third at 14 under, while Mario Tiziani, who is tour star Steve Stricker’s brother-in-law, shot a 67 to finish fifth at 13 under.
