CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. – Alvin Okada of Waianae, Hawaii, making his first start on the Minor League Golf Tour since last May, fired a six under par 66 Monday at the TPC Eagle Trace for his fifth career win. He made four birdies and a bogey on each nine and collected $1,000 from the $5,600 purse.
Okada, 30, finished three strokes clear in the 42-player field with birdies at Nos. 2, 4, 6, 9, 11, 13, 14 and 15. He bogeyed the third and 17th holes, raising his career earnings to $9,475.
Three players tied for 2nd 3 shots behind Okada including Brad Adamonis from Cumberland, RI, Christian De Greiff from Medellin, Colombia, and Paul Park from Wayne, NJ. Each earned $573.34. De Greiff is on the professional staff at TPC Eagle Trace so he had some local course knowledge.
Three more tournaments are scheduled this week, Tuesday at Abacoa GC, Jupiter, Thursday at Martin Downs CC, Palm City and Saturday/Sunday at West Palm Beach Golf Club in West Palm Beach.
