GREENVILLE, S.C. (AP) — Justin Hicks won the BMW Charity Pro-Am on Sunday for his second career Nationwide Tour title, closing with a birdie for a 5-under 66 and a two-stroke victory over four players at rainy Thornblade Club.
Hicks finished at 20-under 266 in the three-course event and earned $108,000 to jump from 47th to seventh on the money list with $138,010. The 35-year-old former Michigan player also won the tour’s 2008 Ford Wayne Gretzky Classic.
Kevin Chappell (68), Tommy Gainey (67), Chris Kirk (66) and Jamie Lovemark (65) tied for second. Fabian Gomez, the 54-hole leader who lost a playoff last year to Michael Sim in the event, bogeyed the final hole for a 72 to finish sixth at 17 under.
Scott Gutschewski and amateur partner Rolf Klam won the pro-am title at 47 under, beating Rob Oppenheim and baseball Hall of Famer Jim Rice by four strokes.
