    Larry Nelson made a 10-foot birdie putt on the final hole Saturday for a 4-under 67 and a one-stroke lead over Jay Don Blake, Steve Lowery and Chien Soon Lu in the AT&T Championship, the Champions Tour's final full-field event of the year.

    The 63-year-old Nelson, who won the last of his 19 Champions Tour titles in 2004, rebounded on 18 after lipping out a 4-footer and settling for bogey on No. 17. He had a 10-under 132 total on the Oak Hills Country Club course in the event's final year at the A.J. Tillinghast-designed layout.

    "I got through," Nelson said. "I was pleasantly surprised. To have a chance to win and have the lead at my age, it's terrific."

    Blake shot a 64, his best round on the 50-and-over tour. Lowery had a 67, and Chien shot a 68.
