CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. – Jamie Sindelar of Horseheads, NY, fired a closing round of 64 to pull out a tight, one-stroke victory Friday at the Country Club of Coral Springs in the first Major of the 2017 season on the Minor League Golf Tour. At 10 under par 132 after opening Thursday with 68, Sindelar edged ahead of three players at 133, four at 134 and three more at 135.
Sindelar's fifth career victory since joining the MLGT in October, 2013, was worth $10,000 from the $41,050 purse, his second payday of that size in just over two months. Sindelar earned $10,000 upon winning the MLGT's Tour Championship Dec. 1. He also won the MLGT first Web.com Q-School contest of 2017 last week so he will have his Web.com Q-School paid for ($4,500) later this year. His career earnings now total $42,440.
On Thursday, young Sindelar, the son of Joey Sindelar, a past champion on the PGA and PGA Champions tours, carded three birdies on each nine and three bogeys overall. He had eight birdies and a bogey Friday, scoring 29 on the back nine, which the field played first both days after starting at the 10th hole.
During the 2-day event there were 3 hole's in one recorded.
Andrew Kim on the 189 yard par-3 18th hole.
John Flaherty on the 155 yard par-3 16th hole.
Jhared Hack on the 174 yard par-3 6th hole.
Another 36-hole tournament is scheduled Monday and Tuesday on the Estate course at PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens followed by an 18-hole event Thursday at the Champions Club at Summerfield in Stuart.
CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. - Bo Hoag from Columbus, OH opened the Minor League Golf Tour's first Major of the year with 6 birdies in his first 8 holes. He added a double bogie, bogie, an eagle and a birdie on the back nine for a 6-under par 65.
He leads by one over Jimmy Lytle who fired a 5-under par 66 and two over seven players at 4-under par 67. It will be a shootout during the final round tomorrow with so many guys close behind Hoag.
