Bateman wins Buick Open by one stroke

The usual stars stayed away from the Buick Open, boosting the chances for the rest of the field. Brian Bateman still didn't think he had a shot. Bateman, who entered 204th on the money list, birdied the final hole Sunday to break a four-way tie and become the improbable winner of the Buick Open by one stroke. "I didn't really have any expectations," he said.
