PGA tour winner Andy Bean died October 14 of complications from double-lung-replacement surgery in early September. He was 70.
According to the PGA Tour, Bean played in 588 PGA TOUR tournaments, winning 11 tournament titles in the process. His last two wins came in 1986, the victories coming at the Doral-Eastern Open (his third in that event) and the Byron Nelson Golf Classic that led to another third-place money-list finish.
In his career, he also had 15 runner-up performances—three coming in major championships, at The Open Championship (1983) and at the PGA Championship (1980 and 1989).
Bean officially retired from golf after the 2014 season, a car accident in 2011 and ongoing injury issues with his wrists taking their toll.
Bean is survived by his wife, Debbie, and the couple’s three daughters, Ashley, Lindsay and Jordan.
