Auterson Birdies 18 To Back Up Victory Prediction!
April 25, 2008
HIALEAH, Fla. – After firing a six under par 66 on Wednesday and losing to a
birdie by Scott Ford on the first playoff hole, Mike Auterson said he was going
to win at Country Club of Miami on Friday. Unless your name is Tiger that
is a pretty bold prediction, but
Auterson of Milford, Ohio
knew his game was firing on all cylinders.
In regulation, Auterson eagled the par-5 13th
hole on the West course and added four birdies and five bogeys.
A two-shot swing at the 18th hole proved decisive as Auterson
birdied to win by 71-72 when, a few minutes later, Kris Lim of Coral
Springs bogeyed. Lim had three birdies and as many bogeys.
Auterson earned $550, Lim $450, from the $2,550 purse.
Dave Clodfelter was third by himself at one over par 73 in only his second
event since becoming a father of twin boys.
Next on the MLGT schedule: April 29-May 1 on the Estate course at PGA National, the
last of three 54-hole spring series tournaments in which the winner is
guaranteed $3,000!

Derrick Bohannon and Mike San Filippo
Overcome Extreme Conditions, Finish 8 Shots Ahead Of The Field
April 16, 2008
STUART, Fla. – Derrick Bohannon and Mike San Filippo were the only
two players under par at the end of 54 holes of regulation play this
week at The Florida Club. The final two rounds were played in
extremely windy conditions that were even more difficult during the
final round, with players having to sort out 3-4 club winds.
It was a thrilling finish. Bohannon got up and down for par on
the seventeenth hole from the greenside bunker while San Filippo two
putted over a ridge to a tucked pin. The eighteenth hole was
playing dead into the gusty wind and Bohannon hit 5-wood from 187
yards to about 20 feet before San Filippo's approach found the green
side bunker. After San Filippo blasted out to about four feet,
Bohannon ran his birdie putt just over three feet past the hole.
Both players missed their par putts. On the first playoff
hole, the par-4 tenth, Bohannon two putted from the back fringe.
San Filippo missed the green short, pitched to about four feet and
failed to convert his par putt. Bohannon earned $3,000 for the
win.

Windy, Cool Day Drives Scores Up, Mike San
Filippo Leads By 2 Over Derrick Bohannon
April 15, 2008
STUART, Fla. – Two players
remain under par after gusty winds and cool temperatures tested the
patients of the 28 player field. First round co-leader Mike
San Filippo posted his second under par round of the event to lead
at five under par 139. San Filippo, who got a skin with his
birdie on the 230 yard seventeenth hole, just missed a hole in one,
after his tee shot finished a few inches past the cup. Derrick
Bohannon is two back at three under par 141 and Kyle Dobbs, who
qualified for the 2007 US Open is five back at even par 144.
The cut moved from a projected +6 over par all the way up to +9 as
the windy, firm conditions, made scoring difficult. The 36
hole cut to 50% of field and ties was from 28 to 16 players.
It is possible to make the cut and not earn a check. In this
payout of 28 players, 14 spots will be paid.
Since 3 players made the cut on the number, only 14 of the 16
players playing in the final round will make a check unless there is
a tie for fourteenth place.
San Filippo and Zac Oakley Shoot 69 To Lead After Round 1
April 14, 2008
STUART, Fla. – Four players broke par in the

Kyle Vasel Chips In On First
Playoff Hole To Secure Win Over Ryan Howison
April 10, 2008
ROYAL PALM BEACH, Fla. – Kyle
Vasel of Greenville, Illinois, chipped in for birdie on the first
playoff hole Thursday to earn his third victory on the Minor
League Golf Tour. Vasel and Ryan Howison of Jupiter had
tied at four under par 68 at the Links at Madison Green.
In the playoff, Howison had hit
his tee shot into an unplayable position under a bush right of
the fairway, dropped out and hit his next shot on the green
about 15 feet from the hole for a chance for par. However,
after he missed the green short and right, Vasel holed his chip
for the winning birdie.
In regulation, both Vasel and Howison made five birdies and a
bogey. Vasel’s earlier MLGT wins were on March 20 at Ocean
Breeze GC, Boca Raton, and on March 10, 2006 at Winston Trails
GC, Lake Worth. Howison, a part time Nationwide Tour
player, has won eight times on the MLGT. Vasel earned
$650, Howison $475, from the $4,000 purse.

Birdies Both Playoff Holes For Win Over Fitzpatrick, Howison and
King! April
7, 2008
BOCA RATON, Fla. – David Smith of
West Palm Beach birdied two straight playoff holes for the victory
Monday at Ocean Breeze Golf Club, his second on the Minor League
Golf Tour.
Smith birdied the par-5 first hole,
chipping back to within a foot from behind the green, and the
par-4 second from seven feet. He had tied at two under par 70 with
Jim Fitzpatrick II, Ryan Howison, and Marvin King on the South and
North nines. The trio of Fitzpatrick (4th), Howison (3rd)
and King (8th) have earned over $14,000 on the MLGT so far in
2008.
In regulation, Smith had three birdies, three bogeys, and eagled
the par-5 sixth hole on the inward North nine. He earned
$600 from the $2,922 purse. It was his second MLGT title,
the first coming on Oct. 23, 2007, at the Florida Club in Stuart.
In the playoff, Marvin King of
Deerfield Beach birdied the first hole but parred the second on a
tap-in moments before Smith birdied for the win. King had
four birdies and two bogeys. Both Ryan Howison of Tequesta
and Jim Fitzpatrick II of Palm Beach Gardens were eliminated with
pars on the first extra hole. Howison and Fitzpatrick each
made five birdies and three bogeys. King, Howison and Fitzpatrick,
tied for second among 29 starters, received $366.67 apiece.
TOUGH BREAK...... Michael Brice missed the playoff by a shot after
his 2nd on the eighteenth hole ended up 30 yards from the hole, on
top of a buried range ball. After going over his options
with a rules official, he decided to play it--due to the seemingly
very good lie it was in compared to the sandy, downhill conditions
where he would get relief. Unfortunately the buried ball
absorbed most of the impact of his shot and Michael ended up
making bogey. Do you think Tiger has practiced that one?

Par 68 In Very Windy Conditions!
March 17, 2008
TAMARAC,
Fla. – Pierre-Henri Soero of Palm Beach Gardens
eliminated any need for St. Patrick's Day luck as blustery
conditions and slick greens tested the players ability and
patience on Monday at Woodmount Country Club.
With precision ball striking
and a rock solid putting stroke,
Pierre-Henri posted a -4 under par 68 to win by a shot over JC
Deacon and Ryan Howison.
Craig Matheson and Scott Turner both shot 70 and tied for fourth
place followed by Daniel Tyskbo at -1 under par 71.

tweleve way tie for 19th, but made a hole in one on the
par-3 fourteenth hole. It was his first hole in one
and the only skin of the day.
Previously in a MLGT event, Zanotti holed out from the tee
on the par-3 eleventh hole at The Breakers Rees Jones
course after his original tee shot found the water....it
was a pretty good par.

feet for the victory, his third on the MLGT and second this year.

STUART, Fla. – Tom Gillis, a
former PGA Tour player from Oxford, Mich., fired an eight under
par 64 on Tuesday to beat the largest field in the three and a
half year history of the Minor League Golf Tour.
For the 11th time this year at least 60 players teed it up, and
in Tuesday's record event there were 74 starters. It was
the 26th MLGT event of the year, the 324th
since the circuit started in the fall of 2004.
Gillis made nine birdies and bogey to win by two shots over
Steve Lebrun and Stephan Grant in the inaugural
DBS

three under par 69. Six players shot two under par 70.
* Two holes were
birdied three times and two holes were eagled three times. All other holes were birdied

Nick Beddow Tames
The Wind, Wins By 3!
March 3, 2008
PALM CITY, Fla. – Nick Beddow of Shirley, NY, fired a four under
par 68 Monday at Hammock Creek to earn his first victory on The
Minor League Golf Tour by three shots over his nearest
competitors. Playing the back nine first Beddow made five
birdies and a bogey to turn in 32, then match par 36 on the front
nine with one birdie and one bogey.
His four under par round was outstanding given the
extremely windy conditions that made scoring difficult for the
52 player field.
Ben Boudreau, Jim
Fitzpatrick II, and Scott Ford all finished three back of
Beddow at one under par 71, followed by:
Corey Brigham,
Michael Brice, Jack Lander, Peter Laws and Phil Wildermuth at even
par. Six players tied for tenth at one over par 73.
