The rookie beat the kid. It might not have been the OK Corral, but it seemed only appropriate that a Texan named Colt would be the last man standing in a final-round shootout in the Price Cutter Charity Championship. Colt Knost, an experienced 23-year-old rookie from Dallas and the reigning U.S. Amateur champion, polished off a wire-to-wire win Sunday at Highland Springs Country Club and punched his ticket to the PGA TOUR in 2009. Knost, who started things with a bang by shooting an 8-under 64 to take the first-day lead, carded a 10-under 62 in Sunday's finale, finishing with a total of 26-under-par 262, four shots better than the kid, 22-year-old Webb Simpson (65), who was turned pro two months ago and was making his first Nationwide Tour start.
