Bernhard Langer shot a 6-under-par 66 Sunday to set a tournament record with a 20-under 196 total and win the ACE Group Classic by four shots.
The 53-year-old Langer held a four-stroke lead going into the final round. Fred Funk got within two after Langer bogeyed No. 11, but Langer came right back with birdies on Nos. 12 and 14. He finished with a 5-footer for birdie on No. 18.
"It's always exciting winning," said Langer, who earned his 14th Champions Tour win. "It never gets old no matter where or how big the tournament, whether it's a major or not. Winning is what we're out here for, what I practice for."
Funk had a chance to make the final hole a little interesting, but missed a short birdie putt on No. 17 and finished with a 66 for a 16-under total.
"I just couldn't get them in the hole from there," he said. "I gave myself some opportunities. I thought if I could've kept the heat on him and made a few more of those putts, but Bernhard played great."
