Golf

Although it took David Graham 10 extra holes to do it, he made history Sunday by beating Dave Stockton in a not-so-sudden death playoff at the Royal Caribbean Classic in Key Biscayne, Fla.

Graham won the longest playoff in PGA Senior Tour history after hitting his approach on the final hole - the par-4 18th - within a foot of the cup, then getting an easy birdie. The longest previous playoff lasted nine holes before Bob Murphy beat Jay Sigel last year at the Toshiba Classic in Newport Beach, Calif.

Both Graham and Stockton finished at 11-under 202 for the tournament. Lee Trevino shot a 72 to finish third at 204.

Pebble Beach National Pro-Am

Sheetlike rain driven by heavy winds wiped out play after three holes of the third round of the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am in Pebble Beach, Calif.

Play was scheduled to resume today.

Tom Watson and Tim Herron began the third round with a one-shot lead over Tom Lehman, Phil Mickelson and Jay Haas. Tiger Woods finished the second round at 4-over 148, 14 strokes off the lead.
