DAVIE, Fla. -- A.J. Ewart secured the fourth win of his Buccaneer career on Tuesday, Oct. 5, winning the Shark Invitational with a score of -11 and also leading the Bucs to a first-place finish as a team.
Barry finished in first at -13, five strokes clear of second-place Lynn. Ewart was joined in the top-five by Felipe Alvarez who shot the lowest round of the team on Tuesday with a 67 in the final frame.
WHAT THEY'RE SAYING:
"I was pleased with a lot of things we did this week," head coach Jimmy Stobs said. "However, to get to the next level we need to eliminate silly mistakes. We are close, but have some work to do. I was very pleased with AJ's outstanding play and how he continues to get better."
"It was a good week for me," Ewart said. "I stuck to my game plan and eliminated bogeys. My game is trending towards where it needs to be and now its time to go back to work before Innisbrook in a couple of weeks."
NOTEWORTHY:
- Barry showed off their work in the weight-room, excelling in hitting off the tee and dominating the long-range par fives, logging a -22 total on the hole type which led the clubhouse by 12 strokes.
- Ewart's fourth win ties him for second in career wins in the Buccaneer record book with Niclas Weiland, Daniel Stapff, and Jorge Garcia.
- Santiago Chamarro led the field in birdies with 14.
- Marcus Dahl recorded the first double-eagle in 15 years for the Bucs.
