FORT LAUDERDALE. Fla. – Robert McKnight out of nearby Lago Mar Country Club eagled the 10th hole to go with two birdies on each nine Tuesday enroute to a six under par 66 to earn his second victory on the Fuzion-Minor League Golf Tour.
His second shot with a 4-iron on the par-5 tenth hole hit low on the flagstick, leaving McKnight within tap-in range for the eagle at the start of the back nine on the East course at Bonaventure Country Club.
He made birdies at the par-5 first, seventh and 16th holes and at the par-4 14th. McKnight, 23, a native of Kilmarneck, Scotland, received $820 from the $4,403 purse, raising his career MLGT earnings to $8,686. He has played on the South Florida-based mini-tour off-and-on since May, 2009, winning for the first time Feb. 3, 2010 at Hammock Creek in Palm City.
Peter Horrbin and Tim Turpen tied for second with 5-under par 67's. Turpen earned $475 and moved into second place in Q-school contest three, less than $100 behind contest leader Kyle Willmann who shot 71.
The MLGT’s 40th tournament of the year drew 37 players. Next on the schedule is a Friday date at the Links @ Madison Green in Royal Palm Beach.
There was $220 in the skins pot with 6 skins out worth $36.67 each.
