He won three times on the PGA Tour.Triplett had five- and four-hole birdie streaks at TPC Snoqualmie Ridge. Also 54, he followed a bogey on the 11th -- his second hole of the day -- with five straight birdies and added a birdie on 18. On his second nine, he bogeyed the third, then ran off four in a row.I really just hit a lot of good wedges to real close, like 2 or 3 feet, Triplett said. That probably describes the round more than anything. It was by no means a pure ball-striking round or anything like that, I just really judged some wedges well. So, thats where most of the birdies came.Triplett won the American Family Insurance Championship in June in Wisconsin for his fifth victory on the 50-and-over tour.Duffy Waldorf and Stephen Ames were a stroke back.Waldorf also had five straight birdies, from the 15th to the first.
