PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- Omar Uresti built such a big lead that even a 4-over 76 on Wednesday didn't keep him from winning the Professional National Championship and earn another trip to the PGA Championship.
Uresti, a former PGA Tour player, had a seven-shot lead going into the final round at the PGA Golf Club. He finished at 11-under 276 for a three-shot victory over Frank Bensel Jr.
The top 20 earned spots at Kiawah Island for the PGA Championship on May 20-23. That wasn't decided until a sudden-death playoff among five players for the final four spots.
