PALM CITY, Fla. – Conner Greenleaf of Windham, NH, and Jupiter, FL, birdied his last three holes Friday and won for the first time on the Minor League Golf Tour. After a fast start on the Osprey Creek course at Martin Downs Country Club with birdies on his first two holes, Greenleaf made his biggest mistake of the day, a bogey at the par-4 third hole. He then added four birdies over the next 12 holes.
It was Greenleaf’s 12th start on the Stuart-based mini-tour since last October, his first this year. He received $1,000 from the $5,800 purse, raising his career earnings to $4,328.
The seventh tournament of the season drew 44 starters. Tied for second at five under par 66 were Davey Jude of Juno Beach and Kermit, WV, and Daniel Obremski of Pittsburgh, PA, each with six birdies and a bogey, and David Kocher, Charlotte, NC, on seven birdies and two bogeys.
