Steve Stricker is finally a winner this year on the PGA Tour Champions. It took a lot more work than he wanted at the Sanford International. Stricker went four playoff holes with Richard Green of Australia until a stunner of shot. He hit out of the rough and the ball rammed into the pin and settled 2 feet away for the winning birdie.
and set up a tap-in birdie Sunday, his third straight Sanford International victory and his first PGA Tour Champions title of the year.
Stricker twice had to work hard for par on the par-4 18th in the playoff, while Green narrowly missed birdie chances. They both made par on the par-3 10th before returning to the 18th again. He was more emotional than usual, winning for the first time since his father died in January. That partially explains why Stricker, who won six times on the PGA Tour Champions a year ago, had to wait so long for his first one of 2024.Loss to U.S. leaves Suzann Pettersen with mixed record as Europe’s Solheim Cup captain“I was trying to win one so bad,” Stricker said. “I owe him everything. We miss a lot. He was the guy who showed me the game, how to act on the course how to be a professional.
