The winning continues for pro golfers from Northeast Ohio.
Nick Latimer of Cleveland birdied five of his last eight holes Monday to pull out his seventh victory on the Minor League Golf Tour based in the West Palm Beach, FL area.
Playing the West Course at Wycliffe Country Club in Wellington, FL, Latimer scored a 7-under par 65 to win by three shots.
After three birdies on the front side, Latimer bogeyed the par-4 10th hole, then birdied Nos. 11, 12, 13, 15 and 17, the last two being par-5s.
The win was his first on the MLGT since two consecutive wins in three days back in January. He received $850 from the $4,655 purse and an additional $210 from the optional bonus pool, raising his career earnings to $29,260 since November, 2009.
April has been a great month for local pros playing out-of-state mini tour events. Jake Scott and Tim Crouch have also won in April as well.
