Friday, July 29, 2011

LAKE WORTH, Fla. – Alan Wagner of Miami eagled the first and third holes of the final round Friday to win his first start on the Fuzion-Minor League Golf Tour. Five strokes behind after an opening round of par-71 on the North course at Fountains Country Club, Wagner rallied for 63-134 to win by two strokes.

Wagner’s card on Thursday showed a triple bogey at the par-4 fourth hole, bogeys at 10 and 18, birdies at 1, 8 and 15 and an eagle at the par-5 11th. Then in the second round he added six birdies and two bogeys after his fast start. Wagner earned $1,780 from the $8,700 purse.

Jimmy Lytle shot a pair of 68's to grab solo second place and the Q-School Contest lead by just over $800 going into the final week.  4 players are within $45 of each other in second, third, fourth and fifth place.  It should make for an exciting finish.

There were 29 entries in the event.

Three 18-hole tournaments are scheduled next week: Tuesday, President CC, West Palm Beach; Wednesday, Evergreen Club, Palm City; and Thursday, North Palm Beach CC.
