SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - Former Long Beach State men's golfer Paul Goydos captured the Charles Schwab Cup Championship on Sunday afternoon at the Desert Mountain Club Cochise Course.
Goydos held off Bernhard Langer of Germany by two strokes to finish the season-ending tournament at 15-under-par 195.
Goydos led wire-to-wire after firing a 62 in Friday's opening round that was highlighted by seven birdies, one eagle and just one bogey. The Long Beach native carded a second round 67 on Saturday to head into the final round on top of the leaderboard.
This was Goydos' fifth win overall on the PGA Champions Tour and second tournament victory this season after capturing the Dick's Sporting Goods Open by two shots in Endicott, N.Y. He won twice on the PGA Tour and shot a 59 in the 2010 John Deere Classic.
Goydos will close out the PGA Champions Tour season in third in the Schwab Cup Points. The Charles Schwab Cup is a season-long, earnings-based competition launched in 2001 to determine the PGA Tour Champions' top player.
