NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. -- Jay Haas birdied the first hole of a playoff with Bart Bryant on Sunday in the Toshiba Classic to become the second-oldest winner in PGA Tour Champions history.At 62 years, 10 months, 7 days, Haas trails only Mike Fetchick, the 1985 Hilton Head Seniors Invitational winner at 63 years to the day.After opening with bogey-free rounds of 64 and 63 to take a five-stroke lead, Haas had to rally to get into the playoff. He made par saves on the par-3 17th and par-5 18th for a 1-under 70 to match Bryant -- who earlier bogeyed 18 to give Haas an opening -- at 16-under 197.Also the 2007 winner at Newport Beach Country Club, Haas won his 18th title on the 50-and-over tour and first since 2014. He won nine times on the PGA Tour and captained the United States winning Presidents Cup team last year in South Korea.The 53-year-old Bryant shot a 64, three-putting the 18th in regulation. He hit into the left greenside bunker in two, and hit something under the ball in the sand that sent that ball right and long.Bryant also struggled on the hole in the playoff, hitting way left off the tee, then into a grandstand to the right of the green. Haas hit the fairway and drew a good lie in light rough, also right of the green. Bryants chip raced across the green and off, and Haas hit his to a foot for the winning birdie.Larry Mize (65) and Billy Andrade (66) tied for third at 14 under.FIJI INTERNATIONALNATADOLA, Fiji -- Brandt Snedeker ran away with the wind-swept Fiji International, closing with a 4-under 68 for a nine-stroke victory.Coming off the United States Ryder Cup victory in Minnesota, Snedeker had five birdies and bogey to finish at 16-under 272 at Vijay Singh-designed Natadola Bay. He opened with rounds of 69, 64 and 70 to take a three-stroke lead into the final round.Ranked 23rd in the world, the 35-year-old Snedeker won his first international title in the event sanctioned by European and Australasian tours.

The Chinese star chipped in for birdie from 35 feet on the par-4 15th to pull within two strokes, and nearly holed a bunker shot for eagle on the par-5 18th.Jang then lagged her 15-foot birdie putt to inches, and briefly danced on the green after tapping in.She kept the celebration short after drawing criticism in South Korea for her flamboyant victory celebrations -- a Samurai Lasso routine in Florida in February and a Beyonce Single Ladies dance in Singapore in March. Also, before the Singapore event, Jangs father dropped a hard-case suitcase that tumbled down an airport escalator and injured rival player In Gee Chun.Jang finished at 17-under 271. She shot a 62 on Saturday to take a six-stroke lead over Feng into the final round. The 62 was the lowest score in her LPGA Tour career and matched the best round in the three years at Miramar.
