May 31, 2007--The Ultimate Game at Wynn Las Vegas is giving golfers the chance to play for golf's biggest top prize of two million dollars. And now three Las Vegas golfers--Chris Berry, Scott Piercy and Ken Jarner--have made the final 12 of the Ultimate Game and will compete June 7-8 at the Tom Fazio-designed Wynn Las Vegas golf course for a chance to cash the winner's check. And the good news is that they all have pocketed $100,000 for their efforts to this point. Berry was a member of the 1998 UNLV NCAA Championship team, and was the key factor in the Rebels win.

"This event can be life changing," Berry told VegasGolfer Magazine editor Bill Bowman before the event. "I owe a lot of this to Monte Montgomery at Shadow Creek.
