Thomas Bjørn sunk a 35-foot birdie putt on the first playoff hole to defeat Cameron Percy at the Stifel Charity Classic, earning his first individual win on the PGA Tour Champions circuit.
Matching Percy Down the Stretch
Closing with a four-under 67, Bjørn matched Percy at 12-under 201 following Percy’s hot finish, which included birdies on three of his final four regulation holes.
A Storied Career, a New Milestone
At 54, Bjørn adds this solo victory to his earlier team triumph this season with Darren Clarke at the American Family Insurance Championship. A former Ryder Cup captain and 15-time European Tour titleholder, this win marks a personal milestone in his senior tour career.
Near Miss for Percy; Cejka Fades Just Short
Australia’s Cameron Percy narrowly missed capturing his first senior title. Meanwhile, Alex Cejka of Germany bogeyed the final hole to miss the playoff by one stroke.
