PLANTATION, Fla. – Carlos Velez of Miami overcame a double bogey on the first hole Monday with a birdie when he played the hole a second time in a playoff to earn his third victory on the Golfslinger.com Tour.
Playing the East course at Jacaranda Golf Club, Velez outlasted Jonathan Orchin of Jupiter and Alejandro Garmendia of Weston after they tied at two under par 69. Velez birdied the par-4 first hole from 15 feet after Orchin two-putted from 14 feet and Garmendia made par after his second shot missed the green.
After his shaggy start, Velez made five birdies and a bogey the rest of the way. He earned $1,000 from the $4,783 purse, raising his career earnings to $11,837 since July, 2010. Orchin and Garmendia, tied for second among 39 starters, received $550 apiece.
The Golfslinger Tour plays a 36-hole tournament Wednesday and Thursday at the Champions Club at Summerfield in Stuart, its 31st event of the year.
There was $200 in the skins pot with 5 skins out worth $40 each.
