ATLANTIS, Fla. – Darkness prevented a playoff Thursday and co-champions were declared in the Minor League Golf Tour’s 12th Holiday Team Championship at Atlantis Country Club. Tied at 13 under par were Olin Browne Jr. of Hobe Sound, FL and Brant Peaper of Tequesta, FL with Conor Richardson, West Palm Beach, FL, and Ryan Crowley, Pembroke Pines, FL.
Each side eagled the par-5 first hole and added 11 birdies. Neither team had a bogey. They received $600 apiece from the $6,900 purse and an additional $286.50 each from an optional bonus pool. It was Browne’s 10th MLGT win, the fifth for Peaper, second for Richardson and first for Crowley.
The front nine was a scramble, the back nine better ball, or four-ball stroke play. Browne Jr. and Peaper scored 29-30 with birdie at the par-5 18th hole. Richardson and Crowley closed with par at No. 18 for 28-31.
23 of the 30 teams entered the optional $40 skins game building a pot of $920. Click on any of the $ links under the skins/total column to view the skins results.
