New Zealand golfer Steve Alker has finished fourth in the Champions Tour's first major of the year.
The Regions Tradition in Alabama went into a fifth day because of weather, with Argentinian Angel Cabrera winning.
Cabrera was tied for the lead with three holes to play, and birdied the 16th and 18th to grab the win from American Jerry Kelly.
Cabrera is a two-time major champion - the US Open at Oakmont in 2007 and the Masters in 2009. He joins Miguel Angel Jimenez as the only multiple winners on the PGA Tour Champions.
Alker finished three shots behind Cabrera after playing his remaining holes on par.
The tournament was hit by storms during the final round on Sunday, and bad light prevented those on the leaderboard from completing their rounds.
The 53-year-old from Hamilton, who finished second in this tournament last year, remains second in Charles Schwab Cup standings.
The Champions Tour has its PGA Championship this week.
