CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. – Curtis Thompson, one of three siblings who grew up learning how to play golf at the Tournament Players Club at Eagle Trace, returned “home” Thursday and earned his fourth title on the Minor League Golf Tour.
Thompson made five straight birdies starting at the second hole. He added two more on the back for a seven under par 65, collecting $1,025 from the $5,820 purse. He added $232 from an optional bonus pool for a total of $1,257. He is keeping his game sharp during the offseason before starting his 2021 Korn Ferry Tour season in Lakewood, FL on February 18th.
Older brother Nicholas has two wins at Eagle Trace, sister Lexi, one of the top females in the world, has one win, also at Eagle Trace where she won a playoff over Brett Bergeron in February of 2011.
The MLGT’s 14th tournament of its 18th season drew 45 players.
