Smith wins Buick Classic in dramatic family twist
Chris Smith captured his first PGA Tour title at the Buick Classic with a 12 under 272, earning 630,000 dollars and a tour exemption through 2004. His wife Beth, unaware of his win, had been at the Westchester Country Club during the final round as he and rivals like David Gossett and Pat Perez finished close behind. Smith mixed seven first days with a late birdie stretch, while rivals tied for second included Gossett and Perez on 70s and Loren Roberts at 71. He reflected on overcoming a tough week and plans to be home, teeing off later in the Open.
