07/18/2010 - Reno, NV (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Matt Bettencourt captured his first PGA Tour win Sunday at the Reno-Tahoe Open, closing with a four-under 68 in the final round to beat Bob Heintz by one shot.
Heintz missed a three-foot birdie putt at the 18th hole with a chance to force a playoff.
Bettencourt, playing in the same group with Heintz, hit two bunkers and made a closing bogey at No. 18 -- among the easiest holes on the Montreux course.
Moments later, television cameras showed Bettencourt barely reacting as he watched Heintz's putt dip into the left side of the cup and spin out, giving him the win.
Bettencourt finished with an 11-under 277 to earn his first victory since he won twice on the developmental Nationwide Tour in 2008.
The 35-year-old from California missed the cut in 13 of his 21 starts coming into the week, but reversed his fortunes Sunday by earning a two-year tour exemption.
Heintz, who is not a tour member, shot a three-under 69 and took second place alone at 10-under 278.
John Merrick and Sweden's Mathias Gronberg both carded 69s to share third place at nine-under 279.
Tournament host and 54-hole leader Scott McCarron had a nine-over 81 and dropped into a tie for 35th place -- 10 shots behind Bettencourt.

Academy Award Betting Odds for Best Picture Offer Great Value
If there is any category that is not an obvious win for any one nominee in this year's Academy Awards, it would be for Best Picture. Sure the Departed is a 5/7 favorite, but that's hardly anything when we look at Helen Mirren and her "out-of-reach" 1 to 40 odds (which means you would win a whopping $1 for every $40 bet).
For value, take a look at MySportsbook.com Oscars betting odds on my personal favorite, The Queen - a remarkable 12 to 1 long shot. The film hasn't won any pre-awards for Best Picture (compared to The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine), but there is a tremendous following and it is a strong enough film to warrant a surprise win.
TV Guide advises Oscar watchers should be cautioned not to discount the drama "Babel" with its strong social themes about overcoming communication gaps among people of different cultures.
"While 'Babel' lost several guild awards to 'Sunshine' and 'Departed,' it still enjoys loyal support, and historically Oscar voters favor dramas with social messages over comedies like 'Sunshine' and violent crime movies like 'Departed'."
"It hasn't done well in the guilds, which means there isn't much industry support," said Tom O'Neil of awards site TheEnvelope.com, "But several critics are expecting it to win, and that gets my attention." Babel had 7 to 2 odds at press time.
Who is to say independently produced Little Miss Sunshine won't be this year's Crash. Last year, Crash won for Best Motion Picture, shocking those who bet on gay cowboy flick, Brokeback Mountain, as the favorite to win.
