Fred Funk captured the rain shortened B C Open with a birdie on the first hole of a sudden death play off with Pete Jordan in Endicott, New York yesterday. Funk nearly holed his 7 iron approach shot before winning with a tap in birdie during a brief pause in the rain that washed out the final round.
