Ian Woosnam wins Champions Tour's Insperity Invitational (The Associated Press)

THE WOODLANDS, Texas (AP) -- Ian Woosnam made a 30-foot birdie putt in a playoff Sunday to win the Insperity Invitational for his first Champions Tour title.

Woosnam, the 57-year-old Welshman playing on a sponsor exemption, beat Kenny Perry and Tom Lehman on the first extra hole at The Woodlands Country Club. The 1991 Masters champion was making his 36th start on the 50-and-over tour.

Woosnam was dealing with back pain throughout the tournament.

''I managed to dig in and grind through it,'' Woosnam said. ''Feel like I'm getting a little bit too old to go through the pain, but it paid off.
