Loren Roberts wins the Toshiba Classic
Loren Roberts won the 18th Toshiba Classic by two strokes after shooting an eight-under-par 205 at Newport Beach Country Club Sunday.
Roberts, 56, an eight-time PGA Tour winner, fired a two-under 69 on his final round. He entered the third round two shots back of the lead.
He sank a birdie from six feet on the 510-yard par-5 No. 18 to clinch the win.
Roberts took home the $262,500 winner’s check. He now has 13 wins on the Champions Tour, for golfers 50 and older. It’s first win since June 27, 2010, when he won the Dick’s Sporting Goods Open.
Roberts is a two-time Charles Schwab Cup champion, the season-long point system used to determine the top golfer on the Champions Tour.
