Alker Claims Playoff Victory at Rogers | Calgary News

Stephen Alker capped a gritty week with his second PGA Tour Champions title of the season, winning in a playoff against Y.E. Yang after Yang bogeyed the 18th hole from a hazard. Alker, who missed a chance to win in regulation, sank a clutch seven-footer to seal the victory — a win he admitted he didn’t love but gladly claimed.

Meanwhile, Jerry Kelly and Zach Johnson tied for third, while Canadian Mike Weir posted his best finish of the year, tying for 14th and eyeing his next tournament in Michigan.
