NAPLES, Fla. — Lee Trevino sank a 12-foot putt on the 18th hole for his sixth birdie of the day and beat Dale Douglass by one stroke in the Senior PGA Tour’s Aetna Challenge Sunday.
Trevino shot a bogey-free 66 to overtake Douglass, the first- and second-round leader who shot a 68, also without a bogey. Trevino finished at 205, Douglass at 206.
The two battled throughout the day over the par-72, 6,682-yard South course at the Vineyards.
“I said to myself today was going to be a better day,” said Trevino, who shot a 68 on Saturday to get within a shot of Douglass’ lead.
The victory was the first of the season for Trevino, who won seven senior tournaments last year.
