Langer wins fourth Senior Open with Sunday charge at Royal Lytham & St. Annes

LYTHAM ST. ANNES, England - Bernhard Langer beat Paul Broadhurst by two shots to win The Senior Open on Sunday for his record-extending 11th senior major title.

Starting three shots off the overnight lead held by Broadhurst, the 61-year-old German fired a 4-under 66 to finish at 6-under 274 for his fourth Senior Open title, a tournament record.

After heavy rain delayed the round by almost six hours, the two-time Masters champion opened with four birdies on the front nine and added two more on Nos. 13 and 14 at Royal Lytham & St. Annes to build a four-stroke lead.
