Former PGA Tour professional Andy Bean died Saturday following complications from a recent double lung transplant. He was 70.
An 11-time winner on the PGA Tour, Bean's first victory came in 1977 at the Doral-Eastern Open in Miami. The last of those 11 came in 1986 at the Byron Nelson Golf Classic in the Dallas area. He was also a three-time winner on the Champions Tour.
A Georgia native, Bean attended Florida and turned professional in 1975. He finished in the top 35 of the PGA Tour money list 10 consecutive seasons from 1977-86 and had five top-seven finishes in that stretch.
