Scott McCarron held on for a one-shot victory over Miguel Angel Jimenez at the Shaw Charity Classic on Sunday after shooting a 3-under 67 in the final round.
McCarron had three birdies and two bogies on the front nine before draining a long putt from off the green at the par-5, 11th hole for eagle. It was the third eagle of the three-day tournament for McCarron and the 17th of his season to lead the PGA Tour Champions circuit in that category.
McCarron then birdied the 15th hole before giving a shot back with a bogey on 16 at the Canyon Meadows Golf and Country Club. He finished with two straight pars to end the tournament at 16-under 194 to take home the winner’s share of $352,500 U.S.
It was the fourth PGA Tour Champions tournament victory of the season for the 52-year-old golfer from La Quinta, Calif., who earlier won titles at the Allanz Championship, the Constellation Senior Players Championship and the Dick’s Sporting Goods Open.
