Stricker Wins in Florida

NAPLES, Fla. (AP) — Steve Stricker closed with a 5-under 67, taking control with a wedge into 3 feet for birdie on the 16th hole before capturing the Chubb Classic.

The late birdie carried him to a one-shot victory in Naples, where the 54-year-old from Wisconsin makes his winter home.

The U.S. Ryder Cup captain won for the sixth time on the PGA Tour Champions, his first title since the U.S. Senior Open in the summer of 2019.

Robert Karlsson and Monday qualifier Alex Cejka (CHAY’-kah) of Germany each made birdie on the final hole to tie for second.
