2009 Match Play – FINAL RESULTS

This year's Match Play Tournament For NIMAGA Members is history after two exciting matches last Sunday at Cog Hill #4-Dubsdread, home of next week's BMW Championship. The weather was great, and the course was set up for the BMW, spectator stands and all. Dubs played long and tough for the competitors, with the roller coaster greens being as fast and difficult as could be imagined.

In the Hogan Division, Tim Prentiss defeated Robert Yedinak 3 & 1 in a very competitive see-saw match. Tim was very satisfied with his net score of 79 from the white tees, and very rightly so.

The Jones Division match came down to the final putt on the 18th hole, with Dave Clay sneaking by last year's Match Play Champion Mark Cummings 2 Up to win the title. Dave's 82 from the blue tees was almost not good enough, as Mark birdied 10, 12, and 15, and finished with an 88. Mark almost aced the 12th, putting his ball within 3 feet of the hole. Not many pros are going to do that next week.

Besides receiving plaques, both Tim and Dave will get a total of $300 in NIMAGA certificates for winning all their matches in their respective divisions. Robert and Mark will each receive $200 in certificates.

Once again, this year's tournament was a huge success, finishing up with an exciting finale on a great course. We had a fun time running the event and are already looking forward to next year; however, we're both hoping that for once, maybe we can get out of the first round.

Win or lose, we hope you all enjoyed this year's Match Play Tournament For NIMAGA Members!
