ROBERT McKNIGHT SCORES 2nd WIN ON US MINOR LEAGUE TOUR

FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida – Former Scotland junior international Robert McKnight, playing out of nearby Lago Mar Country Club, eagled the 10th hole to go with two birdies on each nine en route to a six under par 66 to earn his second victory on the US Fuzion-Minor League Golf Tour.

His second shot with a 4-iron on the par-5 tenth hole hit low on the flagstick, leaving McKnight within tap-in range for the eagle at the start of the back nine on the East course at Bonaventure Country Club.

McKnight (pictured) made birdies at the par-5 first, seventh and 16th holes and at the par-4 14th. McKnight, 23, a native of Kilmarneck but US-based for at least a couple of years, received $820 from the $4,403 purse, raising his career MLGT earnings to $8,686. He has played on the South Florida-based mini-tour off-and-on since May, 2009, winning for the first time February 3, 2010 at Hammock Creek in Palm City.
Peter Horrbin and Tim Turpen tied for second with 5-under par 67's.
