Jason Langer, 23, and his father, Bernhard, shot 25-under to win their third PNC Championship on Sunday.
Team Langer shot rounds of 12-under 60 in the first round and 13-under 59 in the final round to defeat Team Duval by two shots.
Langer played golf at the University of Pennsylvania from 2018-2021, earning his degree in economics and finance from The Wharton School, and landed a job in investment banking in New York City.
Langer was only 14 years old the first time they won. They won it again in 2019, matching the number of times Bernhard won the PNC with his older son Stefan. They won the tournament in 2005 and 2006. With Sunday's victory, Bernhard and Jason now have three wins compared to two for Bernhard and Stefan. (Langer also played with his daughter Christina in 2013 and 2016.)
“It was a ton of fun, said Jason after the win. "I said it earlier, but I don’t get to play as much golf anymore, and I don’t get to see my parents and my family quite as much anymore.”
In New York, Langer keeps his game sharp at Wykagyl Country Club, an A.W. Tillinghast and Donald Ross design that dates back to 1898. He currently sports a +1.1 handicap.
