DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Second-round leader Tom Lehman has been declared the winner of the PGA Tour Champions event in Iowa after weather washed out Sunday’s final round.

Principal Charity Classic officials had delayed the start of the third round by nearly five hours because of bands of light but persistent rain in central Iowa before calling the event.

Lehman shot a 7-under 65 on Saturday to take a two-shot lead over Bernhard Langer, Glen Day, Woody Austin and Scott Parel.

From neighboring Minnesota, Lehman finished in the top 10 in each of his first six appearances in Iowa without ever winning the event. He finished with a 131 total at Wakonda Club.
