Steve Stricker with a stunning shot wins his 1st PGA Tour Champions title of the year

Associated Press  

— Steve Stricker ended a four-hole playoff with a shot out of the rough that banged into the pin and set up a tap-in birdie Sunday, his third straight Sanford International victory and his first PGA Tour Champions title of the year. Green missed his 8-foot birdie putt and Stricker tapped in for another Sanford International title. That partially explains why Stricker, who won six times on the PGA Tour Champions a year ago, had to wait so long for his first one of 2024. Stricker now has four victories at the Sanford International, and he became the first player to win a tournament three straight times on the PGA Tour Champions and the PGA Tour.
