Edmonton Connection To PGA Tour
12/11/2008 00:34
Canadian Tour alumni and former Telus Edmonton Open participants Spencer Levin and Matt Bettencourt are headed to the PGA Tour in 2009.
Bettencourt was speechless and emotional after winning the Nationwide Tour Championship. With a final round 69, Bettencourt earned the top spot on the money list, a full exemption on the 2009 PGA Tour, and an exemption into the Players Championship.
Levin, a three-time Canadian Tour winner and its 2007 rookie of the year, will be joining the PGA Tour as well. The Californian joined the Canadian Tour the winter of 2007 and quickly rose to the top.
Both Bettencourt and Levin played in the 2007 Edmonton Open at the Edmonton Country Club -- Bettencourt finished 20th and Levin seventh.
SWIVEL HIPS SAYS:
We wish both Bettencourt and Levin the best of luck as they embark on the 2009 PGA Tour.
