Bernhard Langer Takes Aim at a Senior Major Sweep

BENTON HARBOR, Mich. — Fresh off a landmark victory, Bernhard Langer will try to enter a league of his own at the Senior P.G.A. Championship.

Langer is coming off the 100th victory of his career — at a major, no less — having won the Regions Tradition in Alabama. It was his sixth major championship as a senior, and he became the second player, after Jack Nicklaus, to have won four different majors on the senior tour, now known as the PGA Tour Champions.

Nicklaus was the first to win the Senior Grand Slam — it took him all of two years to win the four after he turned 50 in 1990 — but he had largely retired by the time the Senior British Open was added to the major rotation.
