    Mark O'Meara was always among the best on the PGA Tour when it came to wrapping up victories in the final round, his nerves rarely failing him.

    He just hadn't been having a whole lot of luck doing it on the Champions Tour.

    That all changed Sunday, when the two-time major winner knocked in a 4-foot par putt on the first playoff hole to defeat Michael Allen and win the Senior Players Championship, his first individual victory on the Champions Tour.

    "It's a thrill. It's been a long time coming," O'Meara said of his first individual win since the Dubai Desert Classic in 2004. "This is a demanding course. It's a class field. It's a senior major championship. So I feel like I hit the jackpot."
