Brigman reaches his goal, rallies for win in Columbus Nationwide Tour Share
D.J. Brigman trusted his gut Sunday. The 34-year old New Mexico native figured he needed to get to 10-under par to have a chance to win the Nationwide Children's Hospital Invitational. When early morning rains softened the famed Scarlet Course at the Ohio State University, Brigman knew he could start firing at flags in an effort to make up some ground on leader Nick Flanagan and a host of challengers. Brigman fired a 7-under 64 to reach 10-under par, good for a one-stroke victory and a big enough check that just might land him back on the PGA TOUR in 2011.

Bethel golfer Kyle Lewis died Monday when his Chevrolet pickup left the road and struck a bridge embankment, not long after he competed in the All-State golf tournament in Broken Arrow.
