Beman Wins Texas Open In Sudden Death Playoff
Dean Beman edged veteran Jack McGowan 20-foot birdie putt on the first extra hole to claim the $20,000 first prize at the Texas Open.

Beman, 31, spoke of returning to practice after a joyful yet unfinished victory lap and noted the win came with his putter and chip.
