Roberts Has Record Win

Loren Roberts made a 30-foot birdie putt on the final hole for a course-record 11-under-par 61 and a one-stroke victory over Don Pooley on Sunday in the Champions Tour’s season-opening MasterCard Championship at Kaupulehu, Hawaii.

Roberts, 50, had a 25-under 191 total to shatter the Champions Tour record for relation to par in a 54-hole event and also finished with 26 birdies to break another tour record for a three-round tournament.

Roberts topped the tour mark of 22 under set by Ed Dougherty in 2001.
