Barron claims 1st PGA Tour Champions major title
Johnathan Barron secured his first PGA Tour Champions major title with a one-stroke victory at the Regions Tradition. The 54-year-old American held off a spirited challenge from Bernhard Langer to claim the prestigious senior tournament.
Barron shot a final round 67 to finish the event on 12-under-par, with Langer carding a 69 to finish in solo second. It was a hard-fought battle between the two legends, with Barron making a crucial birdie putt on the 16th hole that proved to be the difference.
The victory is a major boost for Barron, who has been a consistent performer on the PGA Tour Champions but had yet to win a major. He is now a contender for the Charles Schwab Cup, which is awarded to the player who earns the most points over the course of the season.
