PALM CITY, Fla. – Dan McCarthy of Syracuse, N.Y., birdied five of his last eight holes of regulation and the first playoff hole Thursday to score his 25th victory on the Golfslinger.com Tour. McCarthy edged Jimmy Lytle of Ocean Ridge after they tied at seven under par 64 on the Osprey Creek course at Martin Downs Country Club.
McCarthy sank a nine footer at the par-4 first hole for the win moments after Lytle had missed his birdie putt from 12 feet. McCarthy collected $900, Lytle $650, from the $4,680 purse. Overall, McCarthy has earned $82,606 since October, 2007. Lytle joined Golfslinger in July, 2006, and has $148,671 and 38 wins.
In regulation Thursday, McCarthy birdied the fourth and sixth holes to turn in 33, then came back with birdies at Nos. 11, 13, 15, 17 and 18. After a bogey at the par-4 third hole, Lytle birdied the next five holes, then the 11th, 13th and 18th on the back. McCarthy had teed off more than an hour later that Lytle.
The 43rd tournament of the year, ninth this month, drew 36 starters. Three 18-hole events are scheduled next week: Monday, West Palm Beach GC; Wednesday, Champions Club, Stuart; and Thursday, Winston Trails GC, Lake Worth.
