Bernhard Langer and his son Jason entered the final round of the PNC Championship trailing by three strokes and wound up winning by two after a final-round 59.
“That’s just steamrolling people,” said runner-up David Duval.
The Langers finished at 25 under in the two-person scramble. For Bernhard, it’s his fifth title at the PNC – twice with his eldest son Stefan (2005 and 2006) and now three times with his youngest son, Jason (2014, 2019, 2023).
“Very special,” said Bernhard, who has competed in the PNC with all four of his children. “It’s always special whether you win or not, just being here is like the Olympics. They only take 20 teams and there’s probably 25 on the waiting list that would love to be here.”
Rain and wind that gusted more than 30 mph couldn’t the dampen the spirits of teams at the family-focused event. And with Tiger Woods and son Charlie back for a fourth consecutive year, plenty of fans braved the weather to catch a glimpse.
Here are five takeaways from a soggy but festive Sunday at Ritz-Carlton Golf Club:
There were plenty of highlights from Team Woods all week, but perhaps never has Tiger Woods beamed more brightly than when Charlie chipped in for birdie on the ninth hole.
Charlie, for his part, pointed toward the sky and pumped his fist as the crowd exploded.
“To see his reaction,” said Woods, “it happened right in front of me. He went right in front of me. He got excited and I looked over at Stricks and he was shaking his head. It was great.
“And then on top of that, to see Izzi (Stricker) almost hole it right on top of him. It was a great family atmosphere at that one little hole.”
Team Woods shot a 61 on Sunday to jump up to a share of fifth. Tiger drained an eagle putt on the fifth hole to jumpstart their round. They birdied five of the last six holes.
