Earning a few bucks between semesters is what a lot of college kids hope to do during the summer. And Jeff Madsen, a senior at Cal State-Santa Barbara, is no different. Except in Madsen's case, the haul this summer has been a little more than $1.4 million - and counting. The 21-year-old film student not only became the youngest person ever to win a World Series of Poker championship, but he has done it twice. About a week ago, he set the age record when he took down a no-limit hold 'em $2,000 buy-in tournament at the Rio All-Suites Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.

Skilling then missed a chance to extend the match as his putt from 15 feet slid by the cup.Madsen, the current Maryland Open champion, went 2-up on the front nine, but two Skilling birdies evened the match after 14 holes.

Mike Watson woke up at 3:30 yesterday morning and tossed and turned, thinking about the birdie he and partner Steve Madsen would have to make to capture the 39th annual Maryland Pro-Am Championship.On the drive through rush hour traffic from Rockville to the Baltimore Country Club, the twosome from Lakewood Country Club discussed the task that lay ahead, which consisted of trying to beat the host club pair of Brian Morrison and Bob Kaestner in a playoff."Steve said he had a tough time sleeping, too, thinking about that birdie we needed to make," said Watson, Lakewood's club champion and a salesman for Nationwide Insurance in Rockville.

David Newsom struck a 75-yard sand wedge shot to 18 inches and tapped in the birdie putt to edge Mark Evenson, 1-up, in a see-saw semifinal of the Match Play Championship of the Middle Atlantic PGA at Baltimore Country Club yesterday. Today, in a scheduled 36-hole final, he will oppose Steve Madsen, who never trailed in holding off David Hutsell, 2 and 1. Newsom, assistant professional at the River Creek Club in Leesburg, Va., and Evenson, teaching professional at the Suburban Club, each led on three occasions.

The 75th Maryland Open came down to a pair of seven-foot birdie putts from below the cup on the 18th green at Old South Country Club in Lothian yesterday. Steve Madsen watched as Woody FitzHugh's bid slid by on the right side, then put his ball right in the heart of the cup.The birdie-four at the 533-yard closing hole gave Madsen a round of par 72, and a 54-hole championship total of 215. FitzHugh, who had carried a four-shot lead into the final round, ended with 77216.Of the critical putts, Madsen, head professional at Lakewood Country Club, said, "I thought Woody would make his, and then I thought I had left mine short."

This was 7-under par for the 6,751-yard Woodholme course.After halving bogeys at the first extra hole, Watson was the only one of the four on the green at the 215-yard 17th, hitting a 4-iron shot within 22 feet of the cup.Both Woodholme players needed three shots to reach the green from the left rough, and Watson ended it with a par, getting his first putt within a foot.

Two Baltimore-area residents filed a $2.25 million lawsuit yesterday in Baltimore City Circuit Court against "Species 2" star Michael Madsen and the MGM film company, accusing the actor of assaulting them while he was in Baltimore to shoot the movie.Joseph P.

WASHINGTON - All the years of fertility drugs, low-tech intra-uterine insemination and higher-tech in vitro fertilization finally gave Pamela Madsen and her husband, Kai, exactly what they wanted: a family with two healthy children, Tyler, now 16, and Spencer, now 12. But their journey into assisted reproduction also produced something they hadn't talked about or even thought about - four surplus embryos. The embryos are still in deep freeze in a fertility center in New York, like an estimated 400,000 others across the nation that have been frozen and stored since the late 1970s.

CHEVY CHASE - Rick Schuller, relegated to a playoff after missing a short birdie putt in the 20th annual Callaway Middle Atlantic PGA Head Pro championship, finally made up for it yesterday, but it took him six extra holes to break away from the superb putting of Steve Madsen at Chevy Chase Club. At the end of the 27 holes (par 70, 6,800 yards, plus a repeat of the front nine), Schuller, Madsen and Charlie Briggs were tied at 1-over-par 106 in the 79-man field.

Steve Madsen, from Lakewood Country Club, and Zoran Zorkic, a part-time Buy.Com tour player from Humble, Texas, each birdied the first hole at Eagle's Nest yesterday morning to earn the last available places in the U.S. Open sectional qualifying event June 3 at Woodmont Country Club in Rockville. When play was suspended in Monday's rain-delayed local qualifier, in which 126 players were seeking nine spots at Woodmont, the regular round had been completed. Seven players, led by Shane Bertsch's 65, were at 69 or better, and six players were tied at 2-under-par 70. After Madsen and Zorkic had made their decisive putts at the 451-yard first playoff hole, it took just one more to sort out the alternate positions for the remaining players.
