Justin Leonard Eagles 18 to Win Dominion Energy Charity Classic

The result reshapes the Schwab Cup race as the field tightens to 54 for the Simmons Bank Championship.

Overview

  • Leonard closed with a 4-under 68 to finish at 12 under, winning by one over Ernie Els and Thomas Bjorn.
  • Els held the 36-hole lead after consecutive bogey-free rounds, then bogeyed 17 and missed a 10-foot birdie at 18 to tie.
  • It is Leonard’s second PGA Tour Champions victory of the season and it lifts him to ninth in the Schwab Cup standings.
  • Scott Parel advanced into the top 54 at No. 53 while David Bransdon dropped out, setting the field for next week in Little Rock.
  • Windier final-round conditions at the Country Club of Virginia proved testing as Bernhard Langer slipped late and finished three shots back.
