NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. — Jay Haas got the opening he needed Sunday to become the second-oldest winner in PGA Tour Champions history.

Haas — at 62 years, 10 months, 7 days — took advantage of Bart Bryant’s closing bogey to get into a playoff and won the Toshiba Classic with a birdie on the first extra hole.

“It’s been a while since I’ve been in that position to win, and to pull it off today was awfully special,” Haas said.

Haas trails only Mike Fetchick, the 1985 Hilton Head Seniors winner at 63 years on the age list.

“Just to win, to know that I can do it again at 62 is pretty amazing,” said Haas.

After opening with bogey-free rounds of 64 and 63 to take a five-stroke lead into the day, Haas found himself a stroke behind Bryant and facing a 7-foot par putt on the par-3 17th.

“When I made that one and then looked up and saw that we were tied, it really gave me a boost.”
