Kiwi Alker won the Senior PGA Championship in Michigan this morning thanks to a superlative final round, continuing his incredible form on the tour for golfers aged over 50. Alker stormed to the title with a final round of 63, eight under par, to go with his 64 on the first day. It matched the best final round by a winner in senior major history. Alker had just two seasons on the PGA tour and limited success on the second-tier Korn Ferry Tour before qualifying to play on the senior tour midway through 2021. He piled on nine birdies in a final round that contained only one blooper when he found knee-high rough on the seventh.
