Argentina’s Eduardo Romero shot a 3-under 68 on Sunday to win the Toshiba Classic by one stroke over Joey Sindelar and Mark O’Meara
Romero finished at 11-under 202 for his fifth career Champions Tour victory.
By then Romero had separated himself from a pack of four golfers that were tied at 9-under through 11 holes.
Romero made three consecutive birdies to start the back nine, while O’Meara, Denis Watson and Sindelar weren’t able to keep pace.
Sindelar had the best round of the day at 8-under 63.
He began the day seven shots out of the lead with 23 golfers in front of him, but posted his 63 early and then waited to see if Romero would falter.
O’Meara and Bernhard Langer entered the final round with the lead.
O’Meara, who shot a 1-under 70, had the best chance to catch Romero but made a bogey on 12 and missed a 3-foot birdie putt on 16 that would have pulled him to within two.
