Nelson in Classic comeback

Larry Nelson completed a comeback with a six-foot birdie putt on the first play-off hole to win the Champions Tour’s Administaff Small Business Classic.

Seven shots off the lead when play began, he fired an eight-under-par 64 and was the leader in the clubhouse when Hale Irwin hit a short birdie putt at the par-five 18th hole to force the play-off.

Both golfers went back to the 18th tee and hit solid drives. Nelson’s approach found a bunker and Irwin’s approach landed behind the green on the fringe, leaving him with a 50-foot downhill putt.
