SANTA CLARITA, Calif. (AP) -- Zimbabwe's Denis Watson won the AT&T Champions Classic Sunday for his third Champions Tour title in two seasons, beating Loren Roberts with a birdie on the third hole of a playoff Sunday at Valencia Country Club.
Watson, the 2007 Senior PGA Championship and Boeing Classic winner, birdied the par-5 18th in regulation for a 7-under 65 and a share of the top spot with Roberts (70) and Brad Bryant (72) at 7-under 209. Bryant was eliminated on the second extra hole.
Watson, a three-time winner on the PGA TOUR, set up his winning putt with a 9-iron form 152 yards to 20 inches on the par-4 10th.
"I'd like to watch that shot over and over again," Watson said. "That was so pure. That's as good a shot as I've hit in a long time."
Last year, Tom Purtzer beat Roberts on the fourth hole of a playoff.
