Fuentes-Eppsridefinalhole birdiestowinTwo-ManScramble
Birdies on their last two holes put Dr. Michael Fuentes and Robert Epps into a scorecard playoff, which they won by a stroke over Mark LaRue and Kyle Smith to capture the June 9 MGA Two-Man Scramble.
The pair started on No. 6 in the event where players could only use five clubs.
On their next-to-last hole, the par-3 fourth, Fuentes hit a "low soft 7 iron" on the hole he'd usually hit a pitching wedge or 9 iron. His shot finished about 10-12 feet from the pin and he made the putt for birdie.
On the par-5 fifth hole, both Fuentes and Epps hit driver. Fuentes hit a driver off the deck for his second shot and it finished just off the green. Then Epps almost knocked in a chip from about 30 yards out and tapped it in for the second straight birdie.
"We birdied all the par 5s, 4 and 16," said Fuentes, who credited his partner with making four-foot putts all day.
"Epps really know how to come through," said Fuentes. The scorecard playoff was based on the back nine holes and FuentesEpps shot a 33 on holes 10-18, while LaRue-Smith shot a 34. If it was based on the front nine, LaRueSmith would have won ... they shot a 32, one better than Fuentes-Epps.
