CARY, N.C. — Jerry Kelly is a winner on the PGA Tour Champions again. Kelly shot a 67 in the final round of the SAS Championship and survived a bogey on the final hole.

Harrington was tied for the lead until missing the green from the fairway on the 18th hole. He chipped 8 feet by and missed the par putt to force a playoff.
