Paraguay's Carlos Franco wins Shaw Charity Classic

CALGARY, Alberta (AP) — Paraguay's Carlos Franco rallied to win the Shaw Charity Classic on Sunday at chilly Canyon Meadows for his first PGA Tour Champions victory.

Three strokes behind defending champion Jeff Maggert entering the round, the 51-year-old Franco shot his second straight 7-under 63 to beat Bernhard Langer and Michael Allen by two strokes.

Winning on the Champions Tour is not easy because everybody is a winner here.

The four-time PGA Tour winner won in his 25th start on the 50-and-over tour.

The 59-year-old German star won the Boeing Classic last week for his fourth victory of the year and 29th overall on tour.

Maggert shot 74 to tie for sixth at 10 under.

Watson shot 67 on his 67th birthday to tie for 26th.
