Southwest Florida Open (Week 3) at the Old Corkscrew Golf Club - 6/1/2015
Chris Johnson accepts his $3,200 winners check from Tour Cordinator Ross Hanson. Fellow WFGT member Jeff Bors was alongside for Johnson's first win on the Summer Tour.
 

Estero, FL.

Chris Johnson approached the fourth playoff hole with Case Gard with another golden opportunity to secure his first win this summer and unlike the final hole in regulation play, he buried the 15 footer to win.  The putt capped off an amazing week which saw the Brunswick, GA native post a three round total of (-4) 212 and record two of the only five rounds in the 60's posted by the entire field.  Gard, his playoff companion, also had a fine week, but came up a bit short in the playoff.  He also finished the 54 hole event at (-4) 212, which was good enough for a solo second.  Rounding out the top 3 was Domenico Geminiani, who despite leading after round 2, could only muster a final round (E) 72 to finish at (-2) 214 for the event.


Like most of our events at Old Corkscrew, the course steals most of the attention throughout the week.  The layout and conditions were center stage as players battled the difficult par 72 layout.  The final round played a little over 7,200 yards with the weeks most difficult hole locations on display.  Only 5 players managed to break par.  The West Florida Golf Tour would like to thank Old Corkscrew and its entire staff for accommodating us, its always a pleasure working with such a professional staff..


The win moved Johnson into 3rd place on the Summer Tour Points race after week 3.  Sam Osborne took over the top spot after another strong finish.  The year long race will accumulate with 3 players earning $2,000 bonus checks.  Here are the current standings after Old Corkscrew:
