Maryland golfer on TV

A few weeks ago, we told you about the World Series of Golf being played in Las Vegas. It's a novel approach, combining the game of golf with the betting strategies of poker.

A Marylander, Rockville insurance broker Rhett Butler, finished second in the tournament, which is being televised on NBC tomorrow and Sunday, starting at 3 p.m. Butler finished fifth in last year's World Series of Poker Main event and won $3.2 million. His second-place showing in the World Series of Golf earned him a lot less, but he'll probably get more air time. Anne Arundel accountant and poker player Steve Dannenmann was also in the tournament but was knocked out in the opening round.
