Thornblade Club pros make habit of winning

        Another Thornblade Club member has notched a PGA Tour victory.  Although it does not rise to the level of Thornblader Lucas Glover's U.S. Open triumph in 2009, fellow pro and club member Matt Bettencourt notched his first PGA tour victory at the Reno-Lake Tahoe Open on Sunday using a borrowed caddie and outstanding putting and bunker play to survive a bogey-bogey finish and win by one over journeyman Bob Heintz.  On the bag this weekend for Bettencourt, who lives in the community adjacent to Greer, SC's Thornblade Club, an early Tom Fazio design, was Rocco Mediate's caddy.  Mediate did color commentary at the Open Championship at St. Andrews, where Louis Oosthuizen came out of nowhere to make his own mark.
