RENO, Nev. | Matt Bettencourt scored an eagle on the 11th hole, then held off Bob Heintz by a stroke to win for the first time on the PGA Tour. Bettencourt capped his 4-under 68 with a bogey on No. 18 after a birdie on 17, finishing the Reno-Tahoe Open at 11-under 277 Sunday. After his eagle on the par-5 11th, he played the final seven holes in 1 over par. He also bogeyed the par-4 14th. Heintz (69) missed a three-foot birdie putt on the 18 that would have forced a playoff. He started the week trying to qualify for a Nationwide Tour event in Ohio before he was notified he'd qualified for Reno and hopped on a plane to Nevada on Tuesday.
RENO, Nev. -- John Rollins matched the course record with a 10- under-par 62 to take a two-stroke lead in the Legends Reno-Tahoe Open on Friday, and Chris Riley tied the PGA Tour mark for relation to par for nine holes with a 9-under 27. Rollins, who had a birdie-birdie-eagle-birdie-birdie run, had a 12-under 132 total, leaving him two strokes ahead of 2003 PGA champion Shaun Micheel, who followed an opening 69 with a bogey- free 65 at Montreux Golf and Country Club.
Fresh off a disqualification on the LPGA Tour, Michelle Wie has decided to tee it up against the men, again. Wie will play next week in the Legends Reno-Tahoe Open, the first time she'll play on the PGA Tour this year, tournament organizers said. It will be her eighth time playing on the PGA Tour, and she has yet to make a cut. The only time Wie has made money playing against the men was on the Korean Tour, in 2006, at the SK Telcom Open.
