SANDY, Utah – Former Morehead State University men’s golfer Josh Teater won his first Nationwide Tour event Sunday, carding a 20-under at Willow Creek Country Club.

Teater finished with a 264 (65-67-64-68) in the four-round tournament. He held off a final-round charge by Tyler Aldridge, who shot a five-under to slide into second. He had three eagles and 23 birdies. He earned a purse of $99,000.

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 13 cuts, finishing in the top 25 eight times and the top 10 three times. He ranks eighth on the Nationwide Tour money list with $238,200 in 21 events played.
