Zach Johnson Wins Fifth PGA Tour Champions Title in 14 Starts

Zach Johnson birdied the final two holes at the Sanford International in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, to edge Ben Crane by one stroke. It marked his fifth PGA Tour Champions victory in 14 starts. Johnson posted a final-round 4-under 66 and finished at 11 under. A decisive two-stroke swing on the 17th hole and a 12-foot birdie putt on the 18th secured the win and avoided a playoff. Crane's late stretch included a bogey after two birdies, then a birdie, as he closed with 66. Mario Tiziani tied for third after a 9-under 63, the tournament's best round, alongside Boo Weekley, Ryan Armour, Chad Campbell and Retief Goosen. Johnson matched Stewart Cink for the tour victory lead, extended to 13 top-10 finishes this season, and stayed second in the Charles Schwab Cup standings. CONTESTED No contested facts identified.
