CARY, N.C. (AP) — Bernhard Langer hopes a strong showing at this week’s SAS Championship will propel him to the elusive Schwab Cup.
Langer said Thursday that he “just couldn’t pull it off” in 2008 and ’09.
Langer has five victories this year, including the Senior British Open and the U.S. Senior Open. He holds a 575-point lead over Champions Tour rookie Fred Couples in the chase for the Schwab Cup and its $1 million payday.
This might be the strongest field to play Prestonwood Country Club. Eight World Golf Hall of Famers are in suburban Raleigh this weekend for the SAS, which starts Friday.
There are five events left before the season-ending Charles Schwab Cup Championship. Couples says he hopes to chip into Langer’s lead on the points list.
