Ryuji Imada has captured his first victory on the PGA Tour, beating Kenny Perry in a playoff Sunday at the AT&T; Classic in suburban Atlanta. Perry and Imada finished regulation tied at 15-under 273, but Perry's ball rolled into the water on the first playoff hole. The misfortune came on his second shot, which hit the trunk of a pine tree behind the green and ricocheted straight back into the pond in front of it. [link]
