CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. – Eric Cole of Delray Beach, who has 53 wins on the Minor League Golf Tour, and Hunter O’Mahoney of Tequesta, who has three, combined Tuesday to win the 10th Summer Team Championship.
Cole and O’Mahony eagled the par-4 first and 17th holes and added four birdies on each nine for a 12 under par 58 at the Country Club of Coral Springs. They had a scramble score of 28 on the back and a better-ball 30 on the front (started on #10). Twice they made three birdies in a row, at Nos. 7, 8 and 9, and at the 12th, 13th and 14th holes.
They received $750 each from the $6,570 purse plus $214 in a bonus pool and $180 in skins for a total of $1,144 apiece.
Kristian Caparros of Hollywood, FL and Davie amateur Tyler Strafaci were second at 59, making seven birdies on the last nine holes. Strafaci shot 67 Monday at nearby Plantation Preserve Golf Course to finish third in his second MLGT start.
Jalen Ledger of Palm Beach Gardens and Cameron Young of Jupiter were third among 28 teams at 10 under par 60. Three teams tied at 61. None of the first six teams had a bogey.
There was $720 in the skins pot with 4 skins out. Cole/O'Mahony won 2 of the skins with eagles on #1 and #17, both par 4's. #1 is dravable but #17 Cole holed out from the fairway.
