Snoqualmie, Washington (AP) - August 11 - Australian golfer Steve Allan clinched his second victory in three PGA Tour Champions events at the Boeing Classic, marking his third win of the season. Allan shot a remarkable 7-under 65 to secure a narrow one-stroke win over Stewart Cink.
On the decisive par-5 18th hole at The Club at Snoqualmie Ridge, Allan sunk a critical 5-foot birdie putt. Cink, trailing by a single stroke as he approached the final hole, found himself stymied by a difficult greenside bunker shot, which he left on the lip, ultimately settling for par with a round of 70.
The 51-year-old Allan concluded the tournament at 15-under 201. His previous wins this season include triumphs at The Galleri Classic held at Mission Hills in California this past March and the Dick's Sporting Goods Open last month in Endicott, New York.
Golfing legends Ernie Els and Darren Clarke finished tied for third place with admirable 13-under scores, each carding a round of 66. Alex Cejka followed closely, just one stroke behind them, after posting a 67.
Meanwhile, local favorite and Seattle native Fred Couples struggled, tying for 47th at 1 over par, concluding with a 75. The 65-year-old champion has only participated in seven senior tournaments this season.
