BLAINVILLE, Quebec — Larry Mize won the inaugural Montreal Championship for his first Champions Tour victory, closing with an 8-under 64 on Sunday for a one-stroke victory over John Cook at Fontainebleau Golf Club.

The 51-year-old Mize, the 1987 Masters champion, had an eagle, seven birdies and a bogey in the final round to finish at 17-under 199.

"Any time I had a complacent thought I told myself, 'Keep making birdies,"' said Mize, a winner for the first time since the PGA Tour's 1993 Buick Open. "You have doubt and you have to replace the doubt with belief in your ability."

Cook shot a 68.
