WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – Luke Graboyes of Watchung, NJ, won for the second time this week, Siyan Liu of Beijing, China, for the second time ever, in Minor League Golf Tour play Thursday on the Rees Jones course at Breakers West.
Enroute to matching three under par 69's, both eagled the par-5 12th hole and they received $600 apiece from the $2,410 purse. Graboyes collected another $177 from an optional bonus pool and $40 in the skins game for a total of $817. He was also the winner Tuesday at Indian Spring Country Club-East, Boynton Beach, and since joining the MLGT in September, 2017, he has won 11 times and earned $41,786.
Liu’s previous MLGT title came Feb. 25, 2019, at Fountains CC-West, Lake Worth. His career earnings total $4,373.
Overall, Graboyes, 25, made two birdies and a bogey. Lu, also 25, had three birdies and two bogeys.
Luke’s younger brother, Michael, 24, was the winner of Monday Qualifying Contest #5 which awarded the professional with the lowest total in three separate events this week a $1,000 bonus to be used for a Monday qualifier on either the PGA or Korn Ferry tours. Because Monday's event was weather shortened to 16 holes the contest was 52 holes instead of the normal 54 holes.
