BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. – Aaron Wilson of Shakopee, MN, birdied the final hole Sunday for a one-stroke victory on the Minor League Golf Tour as he edged Jupiter amateur Ryder Sutcliffe 67-68 on the East course at Indian Spring Country Club.
Wilson made seven birdies and a pair of back nine bogeys for his second MLGT win in two months, the first coming Dec. 12 on Fountains CC’s West course in nearby Lake Worth. He earned $1,000 from the $5,835 purse.
Earlier in the day, Sutcliffe had closed with birdies at 17 and 18 and just missed becoming the 31st amateur winner on the MLGT since February, 2008.
