� winner roger chapman
shot a final-round 66 to finish
at 10-under 270 at indianwood G&cc in lake orion,
Mich., to win the U.S. Senior
open by two strokes over
corey pavin, fred funk, tom
lehman and bernhard langer.
it was the second senior
major for chapman, who also
won the Senior pGA in May.
�ke Y hole the 202-yard,
par- 3 17th. After making
his first bogey of the day
on no. 16 Sunday to see his
lead drop to one, chapman
hit a 5-iron to six inches
and tapped in for birdie to
regain his two-stroke margin. it was his only birdie of
the week on a par- 3 hole at
indianwood.
once again, it’s chapman
champions tour // u.s. senior open
�noteworth Y things
could have been different
for pavin, who would have
finished at 10 under and
forced a playoff had he not
been hit with a two-stroke
penalty on the fifth hole
thursday because his ball
moved after he addressed
a chip shot and he didn’t
replace it. … langer, who
held a four-stroke lead after
a third-round 64, made
double bogey on no. 2
Sunday and was four over
through 14 holes. he birdied
three of the last four holes
to finish at 72—272, and a
tie for second. … chapman
and pavin were the only
players with four rounds in
the 60s.
� quotable
“i wanted to prove to myself and to other peo-
ple that [the senior pga at] benton harbor
wasn’t a one-off event.” —roGer chapman
“the ball moved about a dimple or two. i
thought it had moved and then come back
to its position. that’s what oscillate means.
it was obvious on the tape that it moved and
didn’t come back.” —corey pavin
