Carnoustie - Bernhard Langer has won the Senior British Open after surviving a final round chase by Corey Pavin of the United States.
The German shot a 1-over 72 on Sunday to finish at 5-under 279 at Carnoustie - one stroke ahead of Pavin, who shot a 1-under 70.
Pavin, the American Ryder Cup captain, trailed by three shots at the start of the fourth round but cut the gap to two when he birdied his second hole of the day.
Langer survived three-putting both the 8th and 9th greens. After making birdie at 15, he parred his way to victory.
Pavin finished second, three strokes ahead of Americans Fred Funk, Jay Don Blake and Russ Cochran and Australian Peter Senior.
