Bernhard Langer has won PGA Tour Champions majors in each of the last two weeks, and in doing so, set a new all-time mark with nine of them in his career. In winning the Kitchenaid Senior PGA Championship on Sunday by one over Vijay Singh, Langer earned the career senior grand slam and surpassed Jack Nicklaus for most senior majors ever.

Langer shot a 4-under 68 on Sunday to ward off Singh, who kept up with him for most of the day. In a senior scheduling quirk, it was the second straight week in which Langer has taken a big boy tournament on the senior circuit. Last week, he won the Regions Tradition.

Langer used rounds of 65-67-70-68 to get to 19 under at Trump National Golf Club in Washington D.C. Despite only beating Singh by one, Langer dusted everyone else in the field by at least five. The 70 in Round 3 is his only round not in the 60s over the last two weeks of majors.

"It means a great deal to win two majors at age 59," Langer told reporters. "And to surpass Jack's record of eight majors out here is pretty neat. I'm a good friend of Jack's and I think very highly of him, and whenever you can do something just similar or close to what he's achieved, you've done something pretty special."

This is the fourth time Langer has won multiple majors in the same season, which is absurd, and now he has the only major he had yet to conquer. He also has the single season slam in play. Just look at this run. In his last 19 senior majors, Langer has 18 top 10s and seven wins. Seven wins!

It's been an incredible run for Langer that he will try and extend in July at the U.S. Senior Open. 

"My goal when I came on this tour was to be one of the better players," Langer said. "One of the maybe top-5, top-10 dominant players out here. And I think that I've achieved that. 

"When you look at the statistics, I think I glanced at them briefly awhile ago ... they say [that] guys have the most success from about 50 to 54 -- 53, 54, and then the curve goes down. Well, I'm trying to change that. I look at the exceptional players out here, I look at Tom Watson, Hale Irwin, Jack Nicklaus, Sam Snead, Bob Charles, Gary Player, those guys that have lasted longer than most guys. And so I'm trying to be a part of that group and so far I'm doing well but the future will tell where that goes."

For now anyway, it's going quite nicely.
