ENDICOTT, N.Y. -- The Walrus still has some bite. Craig Stadler shot a stunning 9-under-par 63 yesterday to come from eight shots behind and win the B.C. Open by one stroke over Alex Cejka and Steve Lowery.

It was the 13th victory on the PGA Tour for Stadler and his second win in eight days. He captured the Senior Players Championship last week.

"It's like la-la land here the last two weeks," said Stadler, who became the first Senior Tour player to win a PGA event.

"As bad as I played on the West Coast in the spring, I'm playing that good now. And I have no idea what rhyme or reason there is to it. To go to eight tour events and miss five cuts -- I was pretty much hating everything about golf."

He's loving the game now. His comeback is the best on the PGA Tour this year and the best in B.C. Open history. Stadler finished at 21-under 267 and pocketed the winner's check of $540,000, the largest of his 26-year career.

Han takes bite of Big Apple

NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y. -- Hee-Won Han left the 18th green at Wykagyl Country Club in tears last year.

She was all smiles when she walked off yesterday.

The 25-year-old native of South Korea became the LPGA Tour's third first-time winner in the last four weeks when she won the Big Apple Classic by two shots over Meg Mallon.

Last year, Han missed a six-foot birdie putt on the final hole of regulation, then lost to Gloria Park in a playoff.
