PALM CITY, Fla. – Sunny Kim of Queens, NY, playing in the first group off the tee Tuesday, returned with an eight under par 64, then had to wait for more than an hour to see if it would be good enough. It was as Kim finished five shots clear of the field at The Evergreen Club and won for the 49th time on the Minor League Golf Tour.

Kim played an error-free round with birdies at Nos. 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 14 and 16. It was his second win in a week following a 36-hole tournament last Monday and Tuesday on the Estate course at PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens. He earned $670 from the $3,740 purse and an additional $110 from the skins game, raising his career earnings to $216,532 since October, 2006, second on the MLGT’s all-time money list.

Tied for second at 69 among the 21 starters were Patricio Salem of Lima, Peru, and Bryden Macpherson of Melbourne, Australia, each with four birdies and a bogey; and Max Buckley, Rye, NY, on five birdies and two bogeys. Each received $420 from the main purse.

The MLGT's next event is Thursday at Jupiter Country Club, its 32nd tournament of the year.
