WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Jesus Rivas Garcia from Bogota, Colombia birdied 3 of his last 4 holes to earn a spot in a 3 man playoff at Okeeheelee GC at 11-under par 131. Garcia, Ricardo Celia and Jimmy Hervol would need extra holes to determine a winner. They all made par at the par-4 first then all missed the green at the par-3 2nd extra hole. Garcia made his 8 foot par putt after Celia failed to get up and down from the greenside bunker. Hervol would have a 7 foot par putt to extend the playoff which burned the edge.
Garcia earned $2,700 from the $20,086 purse for his 5th win on the MLGT.
Hervol started the final round 6 shots behind first round leader Garcia but carded a course record 61 to set the clubhouse lead at 11-under par.
