Bryant wins Senior Open as Watson collapses late

Kohler, WI (Sports Network) - Brad Bryant fired a four-under 68 Sunday to win the U.S. Senior Open as third-round leader Tom Watson collapsed on the back nine.
Bryant collected his first major championship win and fourth Champions Tour crown as he finished at six-under-par 282.
The 52-year-old Bryant, who trailed by five strokes at the beginning of the round, notched the second biggest final-round comeback in U.S. Senior Open history. Allen Doyle closed with an eight-under 63 in 2005 to overtake D.A. Weibring and Loren Roberts for a one-stroke win.
Watson got to nine-under with a birdie on the par-four 10th, but dropped six strokes over the next five holes. Watson posted a seven-over 43 on the back nine en route to a six-over 78 at Whistling Straits that left him alone in fourth at one-under-par 287
Ben Crenshaw, who hasn't won since the 1995 Masters, carded a two-under 70 to end alone in second place at three-under-par 285. Roberts was one shot back at minus-two after closing with a two-over 74.
