ENDICOTT, N.Y. — Eduardo Romero of Argentina has won the Dick's Sporting Goods Open by one shot over Fulton Allem and Gary Koch.
Romero shot a 3-under 69 today to finish at 17-under 199, equaling the score recorded by R.W. Eaks a year ago in the event's inaugural year. It was Romero's second Champions Tour victory. He also won the 2006 JELD-WEN Tradition.
Crowd favorite Joey Sindelar (71) was within one shot of the lead entering the final hole, but his tee shot at No. 18 sailed into the right trees and he made double bogey to finish in third at 14-under 202, his fourth top-5 in nine events since turning 50 in March and joining the Champions Tour.
