Andy Bean hasn't forgotten how to pull off a dramatic victory. Bean managed to save par on No. 18 after hooking his drive left and bogeying the previous hole, holding on for a 2-under 70 and a one-stroke victory over Loren Roberts on Sunday in the Champions Tour's Regions Charity Classic.
It was only the second win in 5 1/2 years on the 50-and-over tour for Bean and his first since the Greater Hickory Classic on Oct. 1, 2006. That one capped a 20-year drought since his 11th PGA Tour victory.
Bean, who had held or shared the lead after the first two rounds, pulled himself out of trouble on the final hole when his drive nearly hit a hospitality tent some 230 yards from the hole with a bunker in the way. He landed his second shot 21 feet from the hole, though, and two-putted for par and the $255,000 winner's check at Ross Bridge on the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail.
