CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. – Zach Weaver of Virginia Beach, VA, fired an eight under par 63 Monday at the Country Club of Coral Springs for his first victory on the Minor League Golf Tour. After starting at the 10th hole, Weaver, 23, turned in 33, then eagled the drivable par-4 first hole and added four birdies on the front for 30 to win by one shot.
Weaver received $670 from the $3,120 purse and an additional $170 from the skins game for a total of $840 on the day. This raised his career earnings to $3,406 since he joined the MLGT last Aug. 17.
Eric Cole of Orlando, FL was second at 64 with four birdies on each nine and one bogey. He collected $740 including $200 from an optional bonus pool. Cole has 35 wins and collected more than $99,000 in nine years on the MLGT.
Sunny Kim of Queens, NY, saw his winning streak end at three tournaments. He swept three events July 16-17-18 but did not play the last two weeks. Kim shot 69 Monday to finish ninth.
