A 3-foot putt gave Jeff Maggert a winning par in a sudden-death playoff at the Regions Tradition and his first Champions Tour major title.
Maggert, 51, defeated Kevin Sutherland on the first playoff hole at Shoal Creek Golf Club in Shoal Creek, Ala., for his second Champions Tour win.
"This was a tournament I was looking forward to," Maggert told the Associated Press. "I kind of pointed it out early in my schedule and kind of wanted to get my game in shape to come here and play. I love the golf course.
