OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – Former Morehead State University men’s golfer Josh Teater carded an 18-under 266 to finish second in the PGA’s Nationwide Tour Christmas in October event Sunday. Teater finished just two strokes behind medalist Michael Sim, who won the event at the Nicklaus Golf Club at LionsGate with a 264.

Teater finished with a $67,500 purse. He carded a 67-70-63-66 in the four-round tournament. He had 25 holes under par, including 24 birdies and one first-round eagle.

A native of Lexington, Ky., Teater helped the Eagles claim the 1999 OVC Men’s Golf Championship with an All-Tournament performance. Teater turned pro after finishing his MSU career in 2001. He is having his best pro season in 2009, having made 11 cuts, finishing in the top 25 six times and the top 10 twice. He ranks 25th on the Nationwide Tour money list with $127,500 in 18 events played.
