Historic win

-

German golfer Bernhard Langer made history with his victory at the Senior PGA Championsh­ip yesterday, becoming the first player to win all five senior majors on the 50-and-over Champions Tour. Langer edged Fiji’s Vijay Singh by one stroke at Trump National in Washington, carding a closing 68 to finish at 18-under-par 270. ‘‘It means a great deal,’’ the seemingly ageless 59-year-old said when asked what it meant to have won all five senior majors. ‘‘To have surpassed Jack Nicklaus in majors on this tour is pretty unique.’’
