The 51-year-old, who has never ventured off the Japanese Tour, fired a 6-under 65 to sweep past 54-hole leader Kenny Perry for a two-stroke victory in the Senior PGA Championship at Bellerive Golf Club in St. Louis.

But neither one of those players could catch Idoki, who posted four birdies on the front nine and two more on the back - with no bogeys - to rally from a five-shot deficit and finish at 11-under 273.
