Boo Weekley delivered a bogey-free 3-under-par 69 to comfortably win his first Champions Tour event at the Insperity Invitational on Sunday in The Woodlands, Texas.
Weekley didn't live up to the 6-under scores he posted in each of the first two rounds. But he still finished the event with no bogeys in 54 holes, finishing three strokes clear at 15-under-par 201 at The Woodlands Country Club.

For Weekley, who joined the Champions Tour in 2023, it was his first win of any kind since the PGA Tour's Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial in 2013.
"I really hadn't even thought about (how long since I had won); you know what I mean? I probably will when I get home later on tonight or whenever I get back home, to sit down and think about it, just kind of go back through play by play and what really happened all this week," Weekley reflected. "Because you never can soak it all in at one time and just understand what's really going on with the fans and your family and, you know, just how I actually really played and, you know, how I can improve on how I played.
"It's (an) awesome feeling again to be a winner again but at the same time thank the Good Lord for giving me the talent to be able to do this."

With his victory, he jumped 16 spots to third in the Charles Schwab Cup standings.
Weekley largely treaded water in his final round, following an opening par with a birdie on the par-4 second hole before rattling off 12 straight pars. But he finished well, converting a tap-in birdie on the par-4 15th and pouring in a distant birdie at No 17 to take command.

"This game's hard enough as it is, and it's hard to not play a round of golf without making a bogey, you know? And to do it three days in a row at a Champions Tour course, to me that's a feat," Weekley said. "It's just another something I can mark off on my scorecard back at home that I've done for myself."
South Africa's Ernie Els, who entered the day a stroke back in second place, birdied the final hole to finish 1 under on the day and alone in second at 12 under. However, his pursuit of Weekley was undone by a double-bogey 6 on the 17th hole after he put his second shot in the water.
"On 17, I never had the right club off the tee all week," Els said. "And I tried to just ease up on the 3-iron, I hit it dead right, and the second shot was pretty bad. So that was the end of my tournament."
Go time 👊@TheBig_Easy birdies no. 8 @InsperityInvtnl and is just one shot back 👀

Northern Ireland's Darren Clarke (68) and South Korea's Charlie Wi (70) landed in a tie for third at 11 under. Stewart Cink and Zach Johnson, the top two players on the Charles Schwab Cup leaderboard, each carded 70 in the final round to finish tied for fifth at 10 under.
Australia's Rod Pampling posted the best round of the day at 6 under to rally to even-par.
Round 1 leader Ben Crane scored a 79 – tied for the second-worst round Sunday – to fall to a tie for 43rd.
