PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. – Justin
Peters of Plantation, two down after
three holes in Thursday's final
match, rallied to beat Richard Terga
of Miami 5 and 3 in the inaugural
Minor League Golf Tour Match Play
Championship on the Estate course at
PGA National.
It was Peters’ ninth MLGT victory,
his fifth this year. Terga
holds the career record of 16 wins
since the MLGT was formed in
September, 2004. Peters earned
$2,500, Terga $1,500, from the
$10,000 purse. They outlasted
the 32-player field by winning two
matches apiece both Tuesday and
Wednesday to gain entry into the
finals.
After Terga birdied the first and won
the third hole, Peters pushed ahead
winning the fifth*,
seventh, eighth, ninth*
and eleventh holes with birdies.
Terga chipped in for birdie at the
twelfth hole, cutting his deficit to
two holes, but Peters closed out the
match with birdies at the thirteenth,
fourteenth and fifteenth*
holes.
