It was the best of times for Bernhard Langer, the worst for Ian Woosnam and David Frost.
Langer completed a record-breaking performance at Sun City, South Africa, on Sunday to win the Million Dollar Golf Challenge at 16-under-par, five strokes ahead of American Mark Calcavecchia.He also was a whopping 28 shots in front of Frost, the two-time defending champion who limped in at 12-over 300, 16 strokes higher than his winning total a year earlier.
The 34-year-old Langer set three tournament records and tied two others en route to grabbing golf's richest top prize - $1 million.
Langer's total of 272 broke the old record of 274. His 54-hole total of 200 also was a record and came in his record sixth appearance in the tournament.
Woosnam, the world's top-ranked player, carded his third poor round to finish 5-over and in seventh place.
At Tarpon Springs, Fla., Billy Andrade and Kris Tschetter parred the second hole of a sudden-death playoff with Humenik and Elaine Crosby to win the J.C. Penney Classic mixed team tournament Sunday.
Andrade and Tschetter two-putted from 8 feet and Crosby missed a 5-foot putt for par that would have forced a third extra hole. The teams finished regulation play with 18-under-par 266 totals on the Innisbrook Resort course.
And in Kaanapali, Hawaii, Jim Colbert shot a 2-under-par 68 for a two-stroke victory over Dale Douglass in the Senior PGA Tour's Kaanapali Classic on Sunday.
