Junction City, OR (My Sportsbook) - Matt Bettencourt survived a pair of back nine bogeys Sunday to hang on and win the Oregon Classic.

Bettencourt posted a three-under 69 to complete his first Nationwide Tour win at 19-under-par 269. His total of 269 established a new tournament scoring record by one shot bettering the 270 that Jason Gore posted in 2002.

"This will take a while to settle in," admitted Bettencourt. "It's what you dream about when you're a little kid. It's awesome. You dream about it, but you don't know how you're going to react. I'm on cloud nine."

Bubba Dickerson made eagle on No. 15 to get within one shot, but bogeyed 17 and ended two back at minus-17 after a final-round 68.

Spencer Levin also closed with a 68 to take third place at 16-under-par 272. Brian Smock and Bradley Iles were one shot back at minus-15.

With four events left before the Nationwide Tour Championship and players battling to get into the top 25 on the money list, the top-five players on the leaderboard all improved their positions.

Bettencourt jumped from 53rd on the money list to 19th, while the other four players also moved up. Dickerson moved from 47th to 26th, Levin climbed from 28th to 22nd, Smock improved from 88th to 72nd and Iles improved from 98th to 89th.

The 33-year-old Bettencourt got off to a solid start with birdies at three, five and seven to move to 19-under.

Dickerson had three birdies in the first six holes, but also bogeyed the fourth and trailed by four after Bettencourt's birdie on the seventh at Shadow Hills Country Club.

Bettencourt bogeyed the eighth, then Dickerson got within two thanks to a birdie on No. 9. However, Bettencourt seemed to pull away with three birdies in a four-hole span from the 10th.

Armed with a five-stroke lead, Bettencourt started to struggle and his lead almost completely disappeared. Bettencourt stumbled to bogeys at 14 and 15, while Dickerson eagled the par-five 15th to get within one.

Bettencourt settled down and closed with three straight pars to cap his first tour crown.

"I told myself that no matter what Bubba did, just to stay patient," stated Bettencourt. "I knew he'd play well and make a run. He's such a great player."

Dickerson bogeyed 17 to go with pars at 16 and 18 to take second.

Alex Prugh grabbed sixth place at 14-under-par 274 thanks to a closing five- under 67. Brad Fritsch was one stroke back at minus-13 after a 67 of his own.

Rich Barcelo, Hunter Haas, Scott Gardiner, Matt Weibring, Scott Gutschewski and Daniel Summerhays shared eighth 12-under-par 276.
