• With his win, Jerry Pate is victorious for the first time since winning the 1982 the Tournament Players Championship (now known as THE PLAYERS Championship), a stretch of 23 years, 11 months and 11 days.

• The victory also earns Pate a career-best check for $240,000 (previous best was $183,540 at 2004 JELD-WEN Tradition) and a berth for the next two years at the MasterCard Championship at Hualalai in Hawaii. Pate’s biggest check on the PGA TOUR was $90,000 at his 1982 victory in Ponte Vedra Beach.

• Sunday’s win came in his 54th start on the Champions Tour.

• Pate earned 240 points in the year-long Charles Schwab Cup race and moves into fourth place with 240 points. Loren Roberts increased his lead with a tie for fifth finish and now has 814 points, 505 ahead of runner-up Don Pooley (309) and 561 ahead of Tom Watson (253). Scott Simpson is fifth with 132 points.

• Pate’s win followed a somewhat familiar script at this event. With his win, he became the 11th player in 19 events to come from behind in the final round to win.

• Loren Roberts fell short in his bid to become the first player since Chi Chi Rodriguez in 1987 to win four straight Champions Tour events when he finished tied for fifth. Roberts fired three straight rounds of 69 which gave him 12 straight rounds of par or less. Of those 12, 11 have been in the 60s.

• In the pro-am portion of the event, the team of Jay Haas and Fred Paglia won a scorecard playoff over the team of John Jacobs and Ron Campbell. Haas and Paglia won it after posting a back nine total of 31, three strokes better than Jacobs and Campbell.

• Low round of the day on Sunday was recorded by Morris Hatalsky, who closed with a 7-under-par 64, which helped him to a tie for second finish, the second year in succession he had finished tied for second in this tournament.

• The field averaged 71.956 for the 54 holes, nearly the same average of 2005 of 71.932. However, last year’s event was shortened to 36 holes.

• The most difficult hole was No. 15 with an average score of 4.307 (+.307). The easiest was No. 12 at 4.689 (-.311). There were 10 eagles and 101 birdies in the three-round event.

• Danny Edwards made a nice comeback from a 5-over-par 76 on Friday. He followed with a 7-under-par 64 on Saturday and closed with a 2-under-par 69 on Sunday. His effort moved him up 53 places after Friday and into a tie for 13th finish.
