Wheatcroft sets Nationwide marks in Prince George's Open
Steve Wheatcroft set a Nationwide Tour 72-hole scoring record Sunday with a 29-under-par 255 in winning the Prince George's Open at the University of Maryland golf course. His 12-shot margin of victory is the largest in the tour's 22-year history. His 31 birdies tied the tour record for most in a tournament, and his 96 putts were one short of a tournament record. "I am absolutely over-the-top ecstatic with this win," said Wheatcroft, 33, who punctuated his victory with a 20-foot putt on No.18 for his only eagle of the tournament. "I tried not to look back and tried to just keep going as far and as fast as I could away from second place." Ryan Armour shot a 9-under 62 on Sunday to tie Jon Mills (65) for second.
