Tom Lehman wins SAS Championship with late burst (The Associated Press)

CARY, N.C. (AP) -- Tom Lehman had an eagle and three birdies in the final four holes Sunday to win the Champions Tour's SAS Championship.

The 56-year-old Lehman birdied the par-4 15th and 16th, eagled the par-5 17th and birdied the par-4 18th for a 7-under 65 and a one-stroke victory over Joe Durant.

Lehman finished at 12-under 204 at Prestonwood Country Club and earned $315,000 for his ninth victory on the 50-and-over tour.

Durant closed with a 68. Needing to hole out from the fairway on the 18th to force a playoff, he hit close to set up his final birdie.
