ROYAL PALM BEACH, Fla. – Brandon Smith of West Palm Beach fired an eight under par 64 Friday at the Links at Madison Green to earn his sixth victory on the Fuzion-Minor League Golf Tour. Smith birdied the last two holes to edge Nicholas Thompson of Coral Springs, who will be a regular on the Nationwide Tour this year.
