"It feels good to win," said Roberts, who claimed a winner's check of $247,500. "It's been almost a year since I've won. You have to work the ball around the (Sandestin Golf and Beach Course) and that's how I play."

Roberts, who missed out on the Charles Schwab Cup points title last season, bagged his sixth victory on the Champions Tour.

Romero (69) ended at 13-under 200 as the runner-up.

Bob Gilder (65) and Tom Purtzer (71) tied for third at 12-under 201, while overnight leader and reigning Champions Tour Player of the Year Jay Haas (73) tied for fifth with Dana Quigley (66) at 11-under 202.
