HUMBLE, Texas – Fresh off another win on the PGA Tour Champions, Steve Stricker is again changing gears to take on players half his age.

Stricker cruised to a three-shot win Sunday at the Rapiscan Classic, giving the 51-year-old two victories and a runner-up finish in three Champions starts this year. He also mixed in a T-12 finish earlier this month at the Valspar Championship to show that he can still hang on the PGA Tour, and this week he’ll make his 16th career start at the Houston Open.

Six years removed from his last win on the main circuit, Stricker admits that he’s been wrestling in recent weeks with how best to allocate his schedule as he straddles the demands of two different tours.
