With the specter of a playoff looming, Gene Sauers sunk his par putt on the final hole to win the 2016 U.S. Senior Open at Scioto Country Club in Columbus, Ohio, on Monday.

Finishing at three under par for the tournament, Sauers was one shot better than Miguel Angel Jimenez and Billy Mayfair. Ian Woosnam and Michael Allen rounded out the top five.

According to the PGA Tour, Sauers will earn $525,500 in prize money, and the list of payouts for the rest of the field will be provided when they become available.

For Jimenez, it was another disappointingly close result at a major tournament. He tied for second at the Senior Players Championship and ended up with a share of third place at the Senior Open Championship earlier this year. The 52-year-old had one hand on the U.S. Senior Open title before bogeying the final two holes.

Sauers, on the other hand, showed that slow and steady can win the race. He was one under for the round and even par on the back nine. His bogey on No. 15 could've proved to be costly, but he righted the ship on the remaining holes and did enough to overtake Jimenez atop the leaderboard.
