Playing with heavy heart, Lehman posts solid final round and wins season points title for second consecutive year
CARLSBAD, Calif. (November 4, 2012) – Playing one of the most emotionally charged weekends of his career with friend and mentor Jim Flick battling cancer, TaylorMade-adidas Tour Staff Professional Tom Lehman birdied four of the last five holes to win the Champions Tour finale and the Charles Schwab Cup Points Race.
Lehman offered an emotional tribute to the legendary Flick following his unprecedented second straight Charles Schwab Cup Points Race title: “I never would have gotten to where I have gotten without (Flick). The last four days have been somewhat difficult, trying to fight back tears at time. He has meant a great deal to me.”
With the win, Lehman received a $1 million annuity in the Charles Schwab Cup points competition and earned $440,000 for the tournament victory.
