Tom Whitney of Fort Collins finished with a 2-1 match-play record and helped PGA Tour Latinoamerica to a 13-7 victory over PGA Tour Canada in the inaugural Aruba Cup on the Caribbean island just north of Venezuela.
The former Air Force Academy golfer teamed with Martin Trainer to win their four-ball match Thursday, 3 and 2 over Paul Barjon and Max Rottluff; paired with former Colorado Open champion and 2016 Latinoamerica Player of the Year Nate Lashley to defeat Taylor Moore and Rottluff 3 and 2 in Friday’s foursomes; then lost 3 and 1 in Saturday’s singles to Barjon.
Each of the 10 players on the winning Latinoamerica squad, including Whitney, earned $8,000.
Whitney finished 11th on the PGA Tour Latinoamerica money list in 2016, posting four top-10 finishes.
