Bernhard Langer shot a final round 67 (−4) to win his fourth senior major championship and his second Senior Open Championship by 13 strokes. Langer finished with a record score of −18, breaking the previous scoring record by one stroke, which had been held by Tom Watson and Carl Mason. Scoring was difficult on Sunday as only 10 players broke par during the final round, and Langer's four-under-par 67 was the lowest score of the day. Colin Montgomerie recovered from a third round 72 (+1) with a final round 69 (−2), finishing in second place. Rick Gibson finished in a tie for third after a final round 75 (+4), which included seven bogies and three birdies. Bob Tway also struggled in the final round, shooting a 76 (+5), which included two double bogies and a triple bogey on the par-4 3rd hole. Dunlap, Watson, Williams, and Couples shot final rounds of 75, 77, 80, and 78, respectively.
