CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. – Matthew Paradis of Hooksett, NH, out-finished Ethan Cairns of nearby Davie Monday in a battle between non-winners on the Minor League Golf Tour. About 20 minutes after Cairns finished at two under par 68 at the Country Club of Coral Springs, Paradis posted a three under 67. Both joined the MLGT earlier this year but neither had won heretofore.
Paradis had an eagle, three birdie and two bogeys on the day. He received $700 from the $2,905 purse and collected an additional $150 from an optional bonus pool and $105 in the skins game for a total of $955. Cairns, runnerup among 22 starters, came home in 34 after going out in even par 34, after starting on #10.
The MLGT has two more 18-hole events this week, Tuesday at Winston Trails Golf Club, Lake Worth Beach, and Thursday at The Florida Club, Stuart.
