PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. - Louis Devaleix of Brazil birdied the
second extra hole Tuesday to win a Minor League Golf Tour event on
the Estate course at PGA National.
Devaleix outlasted Matt Donovan of Pittsfield, Mass., after they
tied at 144, even par for two days on the 6,700-yard course. In the
playoff, each two-putted for birdie at the par-5 first hole. Then
Devaleix sank a 15-foot birdie putt at the par-4 second hole moments
after Donovan missed from about 20 feet.
In 38 holes, including the playoff, Devaleix had 10 birdies on
rounds of 70-74. Donovan shot 71-73 with five birdies. The winner
earned $1,000, the runnerup $600.
