PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. - Jason Powell of Loudon, Tenn., and
Jonathan Bartlett of Ocala were declared co-champions after playing
nine holes of sudden death Monday afternoon in a Minor League Golf
Tour event on the Estate course at PGA National.
After they tied at five under par 67 on the 6,700 course, Powell and
Bartlett matched birdie-4s on the first hole, bogey-5s on the par-4
third hole, and pars on the other seven.
"After nine holes, I declared them co-champions," said MLGT founder
and tournament director Jay Slazinski. "They had both fought so
hard, it would have been tough for one of them to lose." There was
still ample daylight to continue when play was halted. Each received
the posted first place prize of $325.
There were 24 starters.
Next on the MLGT schedule: Wednesday (May 11), Inverrary CC-East,
Lauderhill, and May 17-18, PGA National-Estate. For information and
entry, call Slazinski at 561-319-8460, or go to
