TUSCON, Ariz. (AP)--Jim Carter beat third-round leader, and Tar Heel golfer from 1990-92, Tom Scherrer by two shots to win the Tucson Open.
Scherrer bogeyed two of the first four holes, but made his second birdie of the round on the ninth hole and reached 18-under with another birdie on No. 10.
That was as far as his clubs would take him, and all it did was get him within one stroke of Carter, who had opened the first two-shot lead of the afternoon when he rolled in a 3-foot birdie putt on the 11th hole.
"I knew someone was going to make a run," said Scherrer, who finished with a 72 after three bogeys. He had just one in the first three rounds. "I didn't know who it would be, and it turned out to be Jim. That was a great round of golf he had today. I knew someone would do it, and I just didn't quite keep pace."
