CARY, N.C., Sept. 21 (UPI) -- D.A. Weibring broke through for a Champions Tour victory Sunday, using an eagle-birdie finish to edge Tom Kite and Bobby Wadkins at the SAS Championship.
Weibring had five top-10 finishes in nine winless starts on the Champions Tour before coming from behind at Prestonwood Country Club. He started the day five strokes off the pace, but shot a 6-under-par 66.
A 50-year-old rookie on the elder circuit, Weibring fell two strokes behind when he bogeyed the 16th hole. But he tied for the lead with an eagle at the par-5 17th and grabbed it for himself with a birdie at the 18th.
The closing birdie put Weibring a stroke ahead of Kite, who blitzed the course record by four strokes with a bogey-free 61. He began the day in a tie for 34th and birdied seven of the last eight holes.
