Armour wins Callaway Invitational

Tommy Armour III made a 4-foot birdie putt on the first playoff hole for a one-shot victory over Lee Janzen at the Callaway Pebble Beach Invitational.

Armour, who won the event for the third time in its 43-year history, had a final-round 67 for a 14-under 274. He began the day trailing Janzen, the two-time U.S. Open champion, by two shots.

The co-leader after three rounds with Andrew Putnam, Janzen finished with a 69.

After hitting his tee shot on the 18th hole of regulation onto the beach, Armour recovered with a 17-foot birdie putt to match Janzen at 14 under.

Janzen had just made a 30-foot birdie from the front fringe.
