Ernie Els won the Kaulig Companies Championship on Sunday for his first senior major title, closing with a 2-under 68 for a one-stroke victory over Y.E. Yang at breezy Firestone. A stroke behind defending champion Steve Stricker entering the round, Els rebounded from a bogey on the par-5 16th to par the final two holes.

AKRON, Ohio — Ernie Els won the Kaulig Companies Championship on Sunday for his first senior major title, closing with a 2-under 68 for a one-stroke victory over Y.E. Yang at breezy Firestone.

“It was a nerve wracking final couple of holes,” Els said. “I got to the 17th tee and I saw Y.E. go to 9 under, so now I’m thinking, `Don’t screw this up even more now.’”
