SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) -- Bernhard Langer would have wrapped up the Charles Schwab Cup long ago under the old format. Instead, he has only a small lead and is one of five players who can take the season title with a victory Sunday in the PGA Tour Champions finale.
Still recovering from a left knee injury that forced him to withdrew from the playoff opener two weeks ago in California, Langer will open play in the Charles Schwab Cup Championship on Friday on Desert Mountain Club's Cochise Course. The 59-year-old German has a tour-high four victories and has wrapped up the season money title with $2,836,459.
