CALGARY, Alberta (AP) — Richard Green of Australia won the Rogers Charity Classic on Sunday for his first PGA Tour Champions title, birdieing the par-5 18th hole for a 5-under 65 and a one-stroke victory.

Green held off Ricardo Gonzalez, the Argentine player who birdied the final two holes at Canyon Meadows for a 65 of his own.

The 54-year-old Green won in his 71st start on the 50-and-over tour. He finished at 18-under 192 after opening with rounds of 65 and 62.

Charles Schwab Cup leader Miguel Angel Jimenez of Spain, the second-round leader after consecutive rounds of 63, had a 68 to finish third at 16 under. He leads the tour with four victories this season.

Charlie Wi was fourth at 14 under after his second straight 64.
