PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. – Kirk Triplett won the Pure Insurance Championship for the third time Sunday at Pebble Beach, beating Billy Andrade with an 8-foot birdie putt on the first hole of a playoff.
The 57-year-old Triplett also won the PGA Tour Champions event in 2012 and 2013. He has eight senior victories, also winning a playoff in March in the Hoag Classic down the coast in Newport Beach.
"I started hitting the ball pretty good about the middle of last summer and that's given me new life," said Triplett, a three-time winner on the PGA Tour.
