Classic effort from Langer

BERNHARD Langer matched the course record with a nine-under 63 to take a three-stroke lead in the Dominion Energy Charity Classic, the first event in the PGA Tour Champions’ Schwab Cup Playoffs.

Seeking an unprecedented fifth Schwab Cup and fourth in a row in Virginia, the 60-year-old Langer leads the season standings.

In Spain, tournament host Sergio Garcia takes a one-shot lead into the final round of the Andalucia Valderrama Masters after he shot 68.
