Spirit Alumnus Flanagan wins on Nationwide Tour |
![]() 2003 Spirit Alumnus Nick Flanagan won the Nationwide Tour's BMW Charity Pro-AM for the second time in 2 years on Sunday, to beat fellow Australian Cameron Percy with a par on the third hole of a playoff. Percy, leading at 16 under in the group ahead of Flanagan, missed a 10-foot par putt on the 72nd hole. Flanagan hooked his second shot at the 491-yard, par-4 18th, with the ball hitting a television cameraman and caroming onto the green, nearly clipping the cup before settling 15 feet away to set up his birdie. "Sometimes it's better to be lucky rather than good, obviously. You've got to take every break you can get out here," Flanagan said. "The birdie putt was pretty much straight away and I had a pretty good read. As soon as I hit it I felt like it was going in. It bobbled on the way, but it had enough speed to get there." Making only his second start on the tour this year, Flanagan earned $108,000 to jump to 11th on the money list. He also played in the PGA Tour's Wells Fargo Championship, missing the cut.
