LUTZ, Fla. – Bernhard Langer won for the 10th time on the Champions Tour when the final round of the Outback Steakhouse Pro-Am was called off due to constant rain. Langer won by default after a birdie on the final hole during the second round on Saturday gave him a one-stroke lead over Mark O’Meara and Mike Reid. Because no player completed their third round, the final result was based on the second-round leaderboard. The leaders did manage to get on the course Sunday, and Langer made par on the first hole at TPC Tampa Bay while O’Meara chipped in for birdie to force a tie at 9 under. It ultimately didn’t matter when persistent rain washed out the rest of the tournament. “We don’t know what the outcome might have been if we had been able to play 54 holes,” said Langer, who spent most of the 3-hour rain delay playing card games with his family. “Bottom line, it’s another second for (O’Meara) and I feel bad for him that he has not won yet, because he’s definitely played well enough to do so.”
