Ryan Moore wins for third time on PGA Tour

Puallup native and PGA Tour star Ryan Moore birdied the first playoff hole to beat Gary Woodland and capture the CIMB Classic in Malaysia title a day later after an overnight wait caused by storms and darkness.

Moore had to fight just to get in the playoff, hitting an awkward 60-yard wedge shot on the 18th hole that dropped within several feet of the hole and allowed him to salvage par.

In the playoff, Moore hit a well-placed approach shot with an eight-iron to the same green that stopped dead about 5 feet from the hole, setting up his winning birdie putt. It was Moore’s third PGA Tour title and came nearly a year after he won his second, at the 2012 Shriners Hospitals for Children Open.
