Despite being from across the pond, Roger Chapman has felt right at home along the lake. Chapman came into the final round of the Senior PGA Championship at Harbor Shores with a 5-stroke lead. He took that lead and held onto throughout the weekend, but would that be enough to earn his first major win?
Chapman won the Senior PGA Championship, holding on for a two-stroke victory after leading comfortably throughout the final round Sunday.
Chapman led by five after 54 holes and was never really threatened Sunday. His closing 1-over 72 was his worst score of the tournament -- but it was enough to give the Englishman a win at the major championship.
Chapman, who had never won on the Champions Tour, finished at 13 under. He bogeyed three of the last five holes but had enough of a cushion that it didn't matter.
John Cook was at 11 under after a 69. Hale Irwin shot 68 to finish another stroke back.
Kenny Perry shot a tournament-record 62 at Harbor Shores but finished five shots behind in ninth place.
