Bernhard Langer marks historic win at the PNC Championship 2023
Bernhard Langer’s win saw him equal the competition record of Raymond Floyd, who was the only five-time winner of the event. The 66-year-old German first won the event with his son, Stefan, in 2005. The duo also won in 2006. Later, he won with his daughter, Christina, in 2013 and 2016.
Meanwhile, he won the PNC Championship with his son, Jason, in 2014, 2019 and now 2023.
Following the win, Langer lauded the competition. He was quoted as saying by Golfweek:
“Just it’s always special whether you win or not, just being here is like the Olympics. They only take 20 teams and there’s probably 25 on the waiting list that would love to be here. It’s always a wonderful thing to get an invitation to come and play here, and as you all know, I’ve got four kids, played with all four of them, and we have a lot of wonderful memories.”
It’ll be interesting to see if Bernhard Langer returns to the competition next year and breaks the record.
