WELLINGTON, Fla. - Spencer Soosman from Westlake Village, CA did not make a bogey in 36 holes which led to a two stroke victory. His 6-under par total of 138 (66-72) was 2 better than amateur Jake Hibbert. Hibbert and Soosman were tied going to the last hole but an unfortunate double bogey by Hibbert proved to be the difference.
Soosman earned $2,164 for his first win on the MLGT, $1,700 from the $8,605 purse plus $464 from the bonus pool.
Second place was $1,300 but because Hibbert is an amateur the maximum he is allowed to earn per USGA rules of amateur status is $1,000 so the extra $300 was distributed throughout the rest of the purse.
