Massachusetts pro golfer wins and Vermont professional golfer finishes third….not to shabby?
JUPITER, Fla. – Scott Hawley of Shrewsbury, Mass., won his second straight Fuzion-Minor League Golf Tour tournament Tuesday, beating Sunny Kim of Palm Beach Gardens in the second hole of a playoff after they tied at eight under par 64.
Playing at Abacoa Golf Club, Hawley and Kim halved the first extra hole with par-4s. Then Hawley won with par-5 on the second despite hitting his second shot into the water. That’s because Kim hit both into the water and out of bounds on the hole.
In regulation, Hawley made six birdies and an eagle at the par-5 10th hole. Knowing what he needed to catch Hawley, Kim finished birdie-eagle-birdie. He had four birdies on his first 12 holes.
A day earlier at the Santa Lucia River Club in Port St. Lucie, Hawley and Jimmy Lytle of Ocean Ridge tied after 18 holes at two under 70. When darkness prevented a playoff, they were declared co-champions.
In his two victories, Hawley earned $1,000 at Abacoa and $775 at Santa Lucia. Kim, second at Abacoa, collected $750 from the $8,713 purse. There were 75 starters, the largest field of the MLGT’s first six tournaments this year.
