Loren Roberts Wins 13th Career Champions Tour Title at Toshiba Classic
Roberts’ Confidence in Putting Leads to Victory
Loren Roberts emerged victorious at the Toshiba Classic on the Champions Tour, securing his 13th career win on Sunday. The challenging conditions in Newport Beach played to Roberts’ advantage, as he excelled in what he believed would be a putting contest. His confidence in his putting abilities proved to be well-founded, despite recent struggles with a left miss on his putts.
Adjustments Lead to Success
Roberts made a crucial adjustment to his routine by positioning his hands slightly further ahead of the ball. This simple change rectified the issue and resulted in a stellar performance on the greens throughout the tournament. Prior to joining the PGA TOUR, Roberts spent five years as a club professional. While he acknowledged that returning to that role would have been difficult, he expressed gratitude for being able to pursue his passion for golf as a career.
Competitive Age on Champions Tour
Roberts highlighted the trend of players remaining competitive well into their later years on the Champions Tour, citing examples such as Tom Watson and Hale Irwin. He believes that individuals can continue to excel even when approaching or surpassing 60 years of age. This bodes well for Roberts, who still has several years before reaching that milestone himself.
Loren Roberts’ victory at the Toshiba Classic not only added another accolade to his impressive career but also showcased his unwavering dedication and skill on the golf course. As he looks towards future competitions, Roberts remains optimistic about what lies ahead in this stage of his professional journey.
