Pros raise money for BYU golf program

Mike Reid and Dave DeSantis were the winners on the scoreboard Monday, but the real winner was the BYU golf program at the biennial Cougar Golf Day at the Riverside Country Club in Provo.

A couple of dozen former Cougar golfers, many of whom play regularly on the PGA Tour, came back home and joined some 160 amateurs in a fun scramble tournament that helped raise money for the Cougar golf program. Reid, who has had one of his most successful years ever on the PGA Tour with more than $300,000 in earnings, fired a 6-under-par 66 at Riverside Country Club to defeat an array of world-class professionals, most of whom played for BYU under Karl Tucker.
