OK, fine, Father Time is undefeated.
But Bernhard Langer, 67, at least seems to have managed a draw.
He and youngest son Jason, after setting the 36-hole PNC Championship record at 28-under along with Tiger and Charlie Woods – both teams shot 15-under 57 – won the tournament with Bernhard’s 15-foot eagle putt on the first extra hole Sunday.
“For me personally, it just makes me focus even more so,” Langer said of being, ahem, not quite the people’s choice here. “I seem to enjoy that challenge to be the underdog or to play in tough circumstances. It just helps me to zero in even more.”
The two teams made a combined 27 birdies and three eagles over 19 holes in the Scramble format at Ritz-Carlton Golf Club.
Although Charlie, 15, authored the moment of the match, making his first career hole-in-one at the fourth hole, Team Langer remained unmoved.
It Jason and Bernhard’s second straight win and fourth overall (Bernhard has won six overall).
The winning putt was set up by the second shot of Jason Langer, who played golf for Penn and now works as in finance in New York City.
“The crowd was more than anything I’ve ever played in front of for sure,” he said. “I’m not that competitive these days. I play a couple amateur events a year.
“But definitely today was not something that I am used to.”
This was the record sixth PNC win for Langer, for he also won here twice with his oldest son Stefan, who caddied for Jason.
It had been only 42 days since Langer’s last victory on PGA TOUR Champions, his 47th; he is the winningest player in PGA TOUR Champions history; and he keeps breaking his own age records each year.
