RIO GRANDE, Puerto Rico (AP)—Rookie Derek Lamely won the weather-delayed Puerto Rico Open during a Monday finish at rain-softened Trump International.
Lamely finished at 19 under 269 to outlast Kris Blanks at Trump International Golf Club-Puerto Rico, a palm-fringed 7,526-yard course which was deluged by rain early in the competition.
Kris Blanks took second at 17 under.
Lamely, a rookie on TOUR who finished No. 4 on the 2009 Nationwide Tour money list, earned $630,000 along with PGA TOUR playing privileges through 2012.
Lamely, who finished at 1:30 p.m., had to watch his competitors for more than two hours to see if he’d be overtaken or forced into a sudden-death playoff.
