J.C. Snead wins Senior tourney

HUNT VALLEY, Md., June 23 (UPI) -- J.C. Snead became the 11th player to win a Senior PGA Tour event beyond the age of 60 Sunday, capturing the Greater Baltimore Classic when playing partner Rodger Davis double-bogeyed the final hole.

Snead carded a 2-under-par 70 for a 54-hole total of 13-under 203, one stroke better than Doug Tewell, Bobby Wadkins and John Mahaffey. He appeared headed to a playoff before Davis collapsed on the final hole.
