PGA Tour winner Brett Wetterich won the Nationwide Tour's Louisiana Open for the second time, closing with a 2-under 69 on Sunday for a one-stroke victory over University of Florida senior Andres Echavarria .

Nobody's ever won the Chitimacha Louisiana Open twice in its 20-year existence, and in the long history of the Nationwide Tour only eight players have ever won the same event twice.

Rich Barcelo proved Thursday that patience can be a virtue at Le Triomphe. The 35-year-old veteran pro didn't attack the par-fives like most players do at the Chitimacha Louisiana Open, choosing instead to lay up and rely on his wedge game.

Erik Compton fired a six-under 64 Thursday to grab a share of the lead with the first round of the Panama Claro Championship suspended due to darkness.
