LAKE WORTH, Fla. – Jordan Gumberg of Fort Lauderdale, FL made five birdies and an eagle over seven holes midway through the round Wednesday for his second victory on the Minor League Golf Tour. Gumberg’s eight under par 64 on the South course at Fountains Country Club was just enough for a one-shot victory.
Gumberg eagled the par-5 15th hole to climax his day after birdies at Nos. 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13. He also birdied the first, fourth and fifth holes, turning in 34 after bogeys at the third and eighth.
He received $1,025 from the $6,780 purse, $232 from the optional bonus pool and $88 in the skins game for a total of $1,345. His previous MLGT victory was with Ethan Marcus of Boca Raton, FL during the Summer Team Championship in June at Indian Spring-East.
Rasmey Kong of North Haven, Conn., the son of Cambodian refugees, was second among 48 starters with 65 on eight birdies and a bogey, collecting $905.
Four tournaments remain on this year’s schedule: Thursday, Holiday Team Championship, Atlantis CC; Sunday, Indian Spring CC-East, Boynton Beach; Monday, Jupiter CC; and Tuesday, Par-3 Team Trilogy, Palm Beach Par 3 GC.
