Northern Ireland's Darren Clarke won his second consecutive PGA Tour Champions event with a two-stroke victory at the Mitsubushi Electric Championship in Hawaii.

The 2011 Open winner shot a final-round 64 with six birdies on the back nine moving him to 21 under par for the tournament.

South Africa's Retief Goosen recovered from a disappointing second day to also close with a 64 and finish second on 19 under, as American Jerry Kelly took third on 17 under par.

Clarke, who won in his last Champions Tour appearance of 2020 in Florida, shot a bogey-free final round at Hualalai.

"I love the Champions Tour. The guys have been so good to me out here since I've been out here, so welcoming," said the 52-year-old.

"And the standard is so high, it's just incredible. The guys really flat out can play. I've been fortunate these past couple tournaments."
