JUPITER, Fla. – Zach Zaback of Farmington, CT and Palm Beach Gardens, FL, birdied his last three holes Tuesday, and had seven birdies on the back nine, to squeeze past Mike Miller of Brewster, NY, to claim his second victory on the Minor League Golf Tour.
Zaback finished about an hour and a half later than Miller and posted an impressive 63 at Abacoa Golf Club. Zaback's other MLGT win was in January at the Champions Club at Summerfield in Stuart. Miller has earned four MLGT titles.
After a modest start with three birdies and a bogey on the front side, Zaback came back with birdies at Nos. 10, 11, 13, 14, 16, 17 and 18. He received $900 from the $7,500 purse, raising his career earnings to $21,334 since Oct. 17, 2016.
Miller eagled the par-4 11th hole and added seven birdies and a bogey finishing second among 60 starters, the largest field since last winter. He collected $620, boosting his earnings to $15,975 since February, 2016.
