WGT player fmagnets closed out 2014 with a huge win, becoming the first ever WGT Virtual Tour Champion in December, and has kicked off 2015 with a win in the January Bandon Dunes Open.
Shooting 38 and 42 for a combined score of 80, on the par 108 course of par three holes, fmagnets keeps on trucking through the new season opener to take the early lead on the season leaderboard, over fellow Tour Legends DrShelby and tinybo (2nd place), stevenharkin and WaLk0fLiFe (4th place), and poldimaier (6th place).
The top 70 scores in each tier of the tournament have all earned a cut of the 200,000 WGT Credit purse this month, to start their overall season earnings.
