DULUTH, Ga. — Scott McCarron won't be a part of moving day at the Masters. No, he'll just be moving.
McCarron, his wife and two kids are leaving their home in California for Reno, Nev. They figured this was as good a weekend as any to pack up since he didn't qualify for Augusta National.
At least he'll have his first victory in four years to ease the pain of missing the year's first major.
McCarron survived British Open-like weather, greens shaved to Augusta's lightning-quick standards and a 20-mile hike through hilly terrain to win the BellSouth Classic on Sunday.
A few years ago, winning on the PGA Tour meant an automatic trip to the Masters. But Augusta National changed the qualifying standards, so McCarron gets to stay home this year.
McCarron won the BellSouth by shooting 1 over during a grueling 36-hole, two-round marathon that kept him on the TPC at Sugarloaf course for some 10 hours. The tournament had to squeeze in the last two rounds on the final day after a rainout Thursday.
Mike Weir, finishing up on the front nine, got within three shots of the lead with a birdie at 4 while McCarron lipped out a 3-footer for par at 13.
But Weir missed a short par putt at his next hole, ending his charge. He still wound up with a final-round 67, amazing under the circumstances and the best score of the day.
"My ball flight is pretty low," Weir said. "I'm usually pretty good in the wind."
The left-handed Canadian, who lives in Draper, was alone in second at 283.
LEGENDS OF GOLF: Andy North and Jim Colbert successfully defended their Legends of Golf title, holding off David Graham and Bruce Fleisher by three strokes.
ARGENTINA OPEN: Argentina's Angel Cabrera won the Argentina Open, closing with a 3-under-par 67 for a two-stroke victory over Sweden's Carl Pettersson.
LOUISIANA OPEN: Paui Claxton won his first Buy.com Tour title, finishing with a 5-under 67 for a one-stroke victory in the Louisiana Open. Claxton, who earned $81,000, had a 17-under 271 total on the Le Triomphe Country Club course.
