Former LSU golfer David Toms wins the U.S. Senior Open

Former LSU golfer David Toms has scratched his seven-year itch.

Toms took a one-stroke lead with two holes to play and held on to win the 37th annual U.S. Senior Open at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs Sunday afternoon.

It was Toms' first win in a PGA Tour event since May 2011 when he won the Crowne Plaza Invitational at the Colonial.

"It's been a long time since I've held a trophy," said Toms, who edged the 2-under trio Miguel Angel Jimizez, Tim Petrovic and Jerry Kelly.

Toms, who had won 13 times on the PGA Tour including one major (the 2001 PGA), shot an even par 70 in the final round and finished at 3-under 277.
