| Cook wins Houston Champions Tour event By MICHAEL GRACZYK Associated Press Writer THE WOODLANDS, Texas (AP) -- John Cook won his third career Champions Tour title and first of the season, closing with a 4-under 68 on Sunday to hold off Jay Haas and Bob Tway by two strokes in the Administaff Small Business Classic. The 52-year-old Cook, an 11-time winner on the regular PGA Tour, finished at 11-under 205 on The Woodlands Country Club's Tournament Course. Haas, bidding for a victory in his third consecutive start and one stroke off the lead at the start of the final round, shot a 71. He had three birdies on the back nine, but couldn't offset at early double bogey. He missed a long birdie attempt at 18 that would have given him a share of the lead and ended up bogeying the hole. Tway shot a 70. Dan Forsman, the leader after the first and second rounds, was cruising Sunday and at 11 under through 13 holes. His run ended with a triple bogey at the par-3 14th, where he put his tee shot in the water. He finished with a 73 to tie for fourth at 8 under with 2007-08 winner Bernhard Langer (69) and Tom Lehman (68).
