STATELINE, Nev. — Dan Quinn birdied three of his first seven holes Sunday to pull ahead and stretched his lead on the back nine to earn a six-point victory over Mark Rypien, former Washington State and NFL quarterback, in the American Century Championship at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course.

Quinn — a former NHL player who will caddie for Sunday's British Open winner, Ernie Els, this week at the Canadian Open — started the day three points behind second-round leader Rypien.

Quinn finished with 66 points in the modified Stableford scoring system to win the celebrity event for the fourth time; he earned $125,000.

Rypien was second with 60 points and Hall of Fame quarterback John Elway finished third with 59.
