JUPITER, Fla. – Justin Hicks of Wellington, FL won his third straight Minor League Golf Tour start Tuesday when he teamed with Andrew Duvall of Ogdensburg, NY, to capture the tour’s Summer Team Championship.
Playing a scramble format on the front nine and four-ball stroke play on the back, Hicks and Duvall eagled the par-4 7th and 11th holes and the par-5 10th, and made birdies on Nos. 2, 4, 5, 14, 15 and 17. They did not make a bogey.
Together, they earned $575 apiece from the $4,000 purse and $348 each from an optional bonus pool for a total of $923 per player. It’s Duvall's first win on the MLGT in 13 starts. Hicks’ career earnings have reached $69,668 since 2005.
Justin Peters and AJ Walker came up just one shot short of the duo of Hicks and Duvall. They just missed birdie chances on 18 that would have forced a playoff. Peters won the inaugural Big Break on the Golf Channel and Walker was a MLGT regular from 2006-2011.
