JUPITER, Fla. - Bennett Cotten from Loxahatchee, FL went from 59 watch to a playoff win at Abacoa GC. He went out in 29 and birdied #10 to get to 7-under par through 10 holes on the par 71 layout. A birdie and two bogies coming in would put him in the clubhouse at 6-under par. Patrick Healy birdied the difficult par-4 18th to force a playoff. Even after Healy hit his tee shot in the penalty area on the first playoff hole both men made par. Healy's tee shot on the 2nd found the penalty area again and this time it led to a bogey. Cotten two putted for par and his first win on the MLGT.
Cotten earned $1,100 from the $7,270 purse plus a $153.34 skin for a total of $1,253.34. Healy earned $910 and is still looking for his first win.
