06/10/2007 - Raleigh, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kyle Thompson shot a one-under 70 on Sunday to win the Rex Hospital Open, holding off a charging Bob Burns to claim his first Nationwide Tour victory in wire-to-wire fashion.
Thompson finished at 16-under 268, good enough for a two-shot win after Burns bogeyed the 18th hole. It was Thompson's first win in six chances as the 54- hole leader on the Nationwide Tour.
"It is hard to put into words," said Thompson, who claimed $81,000 for the win. "It has always been a dream of mine to win on the Nationwide Tour. To finally get this win is huge."
Burns took a penalty on the final hole and made bogey when a birdie could have sent the tournament into a playoff.
Looking for his third Nationwide Tour win and first since 1998, the onetime PGA Tour winner closed with a three-under 68 to take second place alone at 14- under 270.
"I had risk or reward on that last shot," said Burns, who went for the green with a five-wood from 240 yards out at the 18th, putting it into the water.
"I had second place wrapped up. But from the tenth hole on, I knew if I got close I was going for it on the last hole."
Rick Price had a four-under 67 and finished in third place at 12-under 272.
Garrett Willis shot the round of the day by two strokes with a bogey-free, seven-under 64 that vaulted him from a tie for 26th place overnight into fourth place at 11-under 273.
Marc Turnesa (67), D.A. Points (67) and Tommy Biershenk (69) shared fifth place one shot further back at 274.
Thompson opened with rounds of 64 and 65 this week, then cooled off on the weekend with a 69-70. He came within two shots of tying the tournament scoring record.
Prior to this week, his best finish this season was a tie for fifth place at the Melwood Prince George's County Open last month.
"I wouldn't say it has been a struggle, but it has been a journey to get to this point and finally win," said Thompson, who was making his 120th career Tour start. "Every time I've been in contention I've played pretty solid, but I've never had that five- or six-under round to finish up with."
Sunday, he didn't either. But 70 was good enough.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP
With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.
This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.
There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
