This week's Nationwide Tour event, the Henrico County Open, is the only PGA TOUR-sanctioned event hosted in the state of Virginia. Success at the host Dominion Club outside Richmond has served as a springboard to the PGA TOUR as the last five Henrico County winners have graduated and gone on to enjoy good success on TOUR. The list includes Nick Flanagan, who secured a three-win PGA TOUR promotion last year, Mark Hensby, Daniel Chopra, Chad Collins and Matt Kuchar from 2002 to 2005.

Two weeks ago, Bubba ****erson turned in his belly putter for one of regular size while Henrik Bjornstad went the opposite way, changing his regular putter for a belly putter. The switching has paid early dividends for both as the pair hold down first and second place at the halfway mark of the Henrico County Open, the eighth stop on the 2008 Nationwide Tour schedule.

Greg Chalmers became the fifth Australian winner in eight Nationwide Tour events this season, beating Norway's Henrik Bjornstad with a bogey on the second hole of a playoff Sunday in the Henrico County Open.

Chalmers three-putted for bogey from 75 feet on the second extra hole to edge Bjornstad, who pulled his tee shot on the par 3 into the water and missed an eight-foot putt that would have forced another hole.

Chalmers became only the second player in the tour's 19-year history to win a playoff with a bogey. All but one of the previous 126 playoffs ended either with an eagle, birdie or par.

"This feels really good to win this early in the year," said Chalmers, who joins fellow Aussies Jarrod Lyle, Ewan Porter, Gavin Coles and Aron Price in the winner's circle. "I've been playing very nicely to this point. I felt this kind of win was just around the corner for me and it's nice to actually turn that corner."
