"For Romero, it's another victory," the Argentine player said Sunday after winning the Dick's Sporting Goods Open by one shot in Endicott, N.Y. "But for the country, it's a new victory for the youngest players. Golf is growing up and up and up. This is very important for Latin America, especially Argentina."

Romero, who never won on the PGA Tour but has more than 90 victories worldwide, had a closing 3-under 69 to beat Fulton Allem (69) and Gary Koch (65) for his first triumph since the 2006 Tradition. Romero finished at 17-under 199, equaling the score recorded by R.W. Eaks a year ago in the inaugural event.

"I'm working hard for this victory," Romero said. "After my first victory, I played so well but no victories. I think it was time to retire sometimes. But it's not. I'm ready again. Finally, it's coming because I'm working hard."

Crowd favorite Joey Sindelar was one shot off the lead entering the final hole, but his tee shot sailed into the right trees and he made double bogey to finish fourth at 14-under 202, his fourth top-five finish in nine events since turning 50 in March and joining the Champions Tour.
