Steve Allan Wins Boeing Classic - PGA Tour Champions

SNOQUALMIE, Wash. – Steve Allan of Australia claimed a dominant victory at the Boeing Classic on Sunday, securing his third PGA Tour Champions title of the year with a stunning 7-under 65 performance. Allan’s impressive finish saw him edge out Stewart Cink by a single stroke, showcasing remarkable composure and skill at The Club at Snoqualmie Ridge. The Australian’s victory culminated in a clutch 5-foot birdie putt on the par-5 18th, a moment of brilliance that sealed the deal after anxiously awaiting Cink’s response. As Cink approached the final hole, trailing by a stroke, he faced a challenging situation – a greenside bunker shot on the lip. Despite the difficulty, he skillfully navigated the shot, ultimately settling for a par and a 70, a testament to his experience and resilience. Allan’s final score of 15-under 201 cemented his place as the champion, marking a significant achievement in his PGA Tour Champions career. This win adds to his already impressive season, following his earlier triumphs at the Galleri Classic in Mission Hills, California, in March, and the Dick’s Open last month in Endicott, New York. The competition was fierce, with Ernie Els and Darren Clarke tying for third place at 13 under, each delivering a final round of 66. Alex Cejka also finished close behind with a 67. Despite the high level of competition, local favorite Fred Couples, 65, made only his seventh senior start of the season, concluding the tournament at 1 over after a 75. Couples’ participation highlighted the global appeal of the PGA Tour Champions series, bringing together seasoned veterans from around the world.
