DENTON, Texas-It took a birdie on a par five on the fourth playoff hole, but Devin Carrey opened the 2007-08 golf season with a victory at the Mean Green Invitational. 

 

After shooting a two-under par 70 in the opening round, Carrey bettered his score by a stroke to shoot a 69 and force a playoff.
