"Price gets Nationwide Tour win, PGA Tour ticket" BRIDGEPORT, W.Va. (AP)—Rick Price defeated Chris Anderson on the second playoff hole of the Nationwide Tour Players Cup on Sunday and earned his PGA Tour card for next season. The 40-year-old Price collected $180,000, the richest paycheck in the Nationwide Tour’s 19-year history and, guaranteed himself a spot among the top-25 money winners on the circuit who will earn PGA Tour cards for 2009. “This means a lot. It means I get an

opportunity to play on the best Tour in the world with the best players,” said Price, who has been to PGA Q-school 19 times since turning pro in 1987. “The bottom line—it’s a dream come true for me.”
Price, the first- and third-round leader, squandered a one-shot lead on the final hole, making bogey to close out regulation play at the Pete Dye Golf Club. His even-par 72 left him with a score of 15-under 273.
Anderson made a par putt from 7 feet on the 72nd hole to join Price in the first playoff of the tournament’s five-year history.
When Anderson missed his bogey attempt on the second playoff hole, Price had earned his second career title.
He jumped him from No. 46 to No. 3 on the money list with $249,283.
