American Loren Roberts shot a 3-under-par 67 and then beat Mark McNulty and Fred Funk in a playoff Sunday, winning the Senior British Open in England.
Roberts won with a par on the third extra hole, eliminating McNulty. Funk dropped out after the first hole of the playoff.
The three players had tied at 12-under 268 in regulation. McNulty had a 64 and Funk a 67 in the last round.
The victory was Roberts' fourth in Champions Tour majors and 10th overall on the senior tour.
Roberts had two early bogeys in the final round but made four birdies in a seven-hole stretch to tie for the lead.
I played really solid on the back nine,
Roberts said.
Bernhard Langer (65) ended up in fourth place at 269 and Sam Torrance (67) took fifth at 270.
Larry Mize (68) and Greg Norman (71) tied for sixth at 271.
Tom Watson (67), who finished second in the recent British Open at Turnberry, Scotland, and defending champion Bruce Vaughan (69) were in a group at 273.
