Saturday’s culmination of the Men’s Matchplay Championships saw high quality golf in warm, sunny conditions.
In Scratch, wily veteran Mark Allen took on Ryan Hammond in a battle of the multiple Club Champions over 36 holes. Mark played slightly better golf over the first eighteen holes to take a two-up lead at the halftime break. However, Ryan steadied, taking the lead on the 26th hole. Ryan continued to find fairways and perform well around the greens, to claim the win four and three.
In Division One, the rapidly improving Matt Guy took on Kevin Thorpe. Both golfers were in form, with Matt shooting a nett 62 and Kevin nett 65 the previous Saturday. In the last couple of years big-hitting Matt has brought his handicap down from the twenties to five, improving all aspects of his game. Matt headed Kevin through the first eighteen to lead two up and try as he might Kevin could not bridge the gap over the second eighteen. Matt displayed great mental toughness on the greens under pressure, lagging long putts and holing must-makes to keep Kevin at bay and bring home the bacon four and two.
In Division Two Bryan Delaney squared off against Gary Burns over eighteen holes, in a match which proved to be a nail biter. After being all square through 17, Bryan was able to play nerveless golf on the last, to claim victory, one-up.
In Division Three Steve Smith was looking to continue his current winning form against the affable octogenarian Doug Scott. Despite having to concede a couple of shots over the eighteen holes, Steve was able to keep his ball straight and steady, eventually winning five and three.
