Alker wins Ally Challenge for 2nd straight PGA Tour Champions victory
GRAND BLANC, Mich. (AP) --- Steven Alker won the Ally Challenge on Sunday for
his second straight PGA Tour Champions victory and third of the season, closing
with a 4-under 68 at Warwick Hills for a three-stroke margin.
Alker won the Rogers Charity Classic last week in Calgary, Alberta, beating
Y.E. Yang with a birdie putt on the first hole of a playoff. The 55-year-old
New Zealander also won the Cologuard Classic in March in Tucson, Arizona,
topping Padraig Harrington on the first extra hole.
Alker finished at 15-under 201 for his 13th career victory on the 50-and-over
tour.
Retief Goosen was second after a 64.
Two-time defending champion Stewart Cink (67), Greg Chalmers (69) and
second-round leader Michael Block (74) tied for third at 11 under. The
50-year-old Block was making his fifth start on tour.
Henrik Stenson tied for 27th in his tour debut. He closed with a 69 to reach 5
under.
