SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 7 (UPI) -- John Cook came from behind to take the Charles Schwab Cup Championship Sunday and Bernhard Langer won the $1 million, year-long Cup title.
Cook shot a 4-under-par 67 Sunday, finishing at 17-under 267 to overcome third-round leader Michael Allen by two shots at TPC Harding Park in San Francisco.
Allen stumbled to a 1-under 70 in the final round, finishing at minus-15.
Langer, meanwhile, collected a $1 million annuity as the winner of the Charles Schwab Cup title after carding a 2-under 69 and tying David Frost (71) for third place at minus-12.
Langer was looking for a strong finish to edge out Fred Couples for the title and got it after notching five wins on the Champions Tour this season.
Sharing fifth place were Russ Cochran (70), Fred Funk (68), Tom Lehman (70) and Tom Pernice, Jr. (69) at 11-under 273. Tom Kite (68) claimed ninth place at minus-10.
