The 49 year old Triplett is just seven months away from turning 50 and history has shown that those capable of winning on the Nationwide Tour into their late forties are well placed for a successful Champions Tour career.
Splitting his time between the PGA and Nationwide Tours this season in order to retain a competitive edge, Triplett moved into contention with his second round of 64 and started today’s final round with a one shot lead over John Mallinger, Aaron Goldsberg and Kevin Kisner.
Triplett was faultless in his final push for victory, edging clear with a rock solid round of four under 68 to win by two over Dawson and by three over Mallinger and Ted Potter Jr.
Mathew Goggin finished as the leading Australian in 8th position the cheque for US$13,500 enough to take him back to the top of the Nationwide Tour money list after being headed last week by J.J. Killeen.
James Nitties followed up his win last week with another good week. He finished 13th and improved two places to 10th on the money list.
Nathan Green, Alistair Presnell and Gavin Coles finished 26th
