LAKE WORTH, Fla. – Double record holder Jimmy Lytle of Ocean Ridge, FL, birdied four consecutive holes on the inward nine Thursday enroute to a five under par 67 and his 56th victory, the most ever by anyone on the Minor League Golf Tour.
After three birdies and a bogey on the first 10 holes at the Palm Beach County owned Park Ridge Golf Course, Lytle, 30, birdied the 12th through the 15th holes, bogeyed the 16th and parred the last two to win by one.
