Tournament Notebook

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. (AP) - Ted Schulz won the First Tee Open on Sunday for his first Champions Tour title, holing a 12-foot birdie putt on the 17th hole at Pebble Beach en route to a 2-under 70 and a one-stroke victory over Tom Pernice Jr.

The 50-year-old Schulz - in the field on conditional status in his 12th start on the 50-and-over tour - finished at 14-under 202. It was his first victory since winning the 1991 Nissan Open for the second of his two PGA Tour titles.

``It's huge,'' said Schulz, who had an eagle, birdie and two bogeys. ``I played pretty solid most of the day. I didn't hit is as close as yesterday and I figured I would win if I shot four under. It turned out, two under was enough.''

Schulz, who quit the PGA Tour in 2000 and is the director of golf at the University of Louisville, earned $315,000, the biggest payday of his career and nearly twice what he earned for his Nissan Open title.

``I was pretty nervous. I got up four times last night,'' Schulz said. ``But once I got it going, I was pretty solid the whole day.''

Pernice finished with a 67.

``I didn't know Ted had birdied 17 behind me,'' Pernice said. ``I would have played 18 differently. I hit a terribly layup. But I'm happy for Ted. He hasn't been there in a while.''

Mark Calcavecchia and Tom Kite closed with 69s to tie for third at 12 under. Fred Couples (68) followed at 11 under.

Jeff Sluman, the 2008 and 2009 winner, shot a 71 to finish at 6 under.
