McCarron wins PGA Tour Champion playoff event in Virginia (The Associated Press)

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- Scott McCarron came into the season with a goal of winning the Charles Schwab Cup Championship.

He put himself in position to do just that Sunday in the Dominion Charity Classic, making a 6-foot putt on the first hole of a playoff with Tom Byrum to win the second of three PGA Tour Champions playoff events. McCarron will start next week in Scottsdale, Arizona, second in points to two-time defending champion Bernhard Langer with the cup on the line.

''I think it's awesome. Bernhard Langer's had a great year, a phenomenal year, one of the best years ever, but it's a playoff.
