BOCA RATON, Fla. – Chad Bricker of Waynesboro, Pa., fired an eight under par 64 Thursday at Ocean Breeze Golf Club to earn his first victory on the Golfslinger.com Tour.
A strong back nine was decisive as Bricker beat Michael Buttacavoli of Miami by four shots. Bricker finished with an eagle at the par-5 13th hole and birdies at Nos. 14, 15, 17 and 18.
It was just the eighth Golfslinger appearance since February, 2011, for Bricker, 25, a former Pennsylvania Amateur (2006) and Junior Amateur (2004) champion. He earned $1,000 from the $4,322 purse.
