RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Steven Alker birdied three holes in a row to break out of a late four-way tie for the lead and and won the Dominion Energy Charity Classic, the opening event in the Charles Schwab Cup on the PGA Tour Champions. Alker started the tournament as the Schwab Cup leader in the three-event finish to the season and made birdies at Nos. 15, 16 and 17. He beat K.J. Choi by one shot for his fourth victory of the season. That ties Steve Stricker for the most on the tour this season.
