Despite the fact that it is already mid April, the Nationwide Tour will play only their third event of the season on American soil when the South Georgia Classic gets underway on Thursday in Valdosta in Georgia.

With four of the first six events played in countries such as Australia, New Zealand, Panama and Colombia, the Nationwide Tour returned to North America a month ago at the Chitimacha Louisiana Open and last week played the Fresh Express Classic in California.

Australia's Porter wins Nationwide Tour's South Georgia Classic

Australian Ewan Porter figured out a way to keep his emotions in check and it paid off with his second career win on the Nationwide Tour. Porter fired a final-round, 2-under-par 70 and won the rain-delayed South Georgia Classic by one shot over second-year pro Jhonattan Vegas of Venezuela.

Porter finished four trips around the Kinderlou Forest Golf Club at 11-under 277, one better than Vegas, who refused to fold under Sunday's back-nine pressure. Veteran Brandt Jobe closed with a 69 to wind up at 9-under and solo third while Canadian David Hearn, who held the outright led after each of the first three rounds, shot a 2-over 74 and wound up fourth.
