LUTZ, Fla., April 19 (UPI) -- Longtime PGA star Nick Price earned his first victory on the Champions Tour Sunday, winning the Outback Steakhouse Pro-Am in Florida by two shots.

Price closed with an even-par 71 for an overall score of 9-under 204.

Second place went to Larry Nelson, who carded a 70 for 206.

Loren Roberts (67), Hal Sutton (69) and Lonnie Nielsen (70) shared third at 207.

It took Price, who won 18 times on the PGA Tour, just over two years to notch his first win on the senior tour.

"I'm just happy this day is over," Price said. "I'm going to do some celebrating now."

Price won $255,000.
