Thanks Tyler, it was a pleasure to play with you too. Neither one of us was on, but it kept the match close and it was great to play with Ty. We started off well, we both birdied #1, I birdied 2 to get to 1 up, and Tyler hit a beauty inside 5 ft to the back pin at #3 to square it up. We birdied 4.
At #5, Ty had a bad break, as his putt from the fringe was sticky and didn't go far, which lead to a bogey and a 1up lead for me. His drive on #6 went left, leaving him with a tough 20 fter for birdie which just burned the edge. We halved 7 and 8 with pars, then I hit a shot iron to #9 for an easy birdie and went 3 up.
On the back 9, Ty got unlucky on 10 as he hit a great shot that just ran a little long to the back left pin. He missed his birdie and a chance to cut the lead. We both birdied 11, then he hit an awesome shot from 184 to the back pin at 12 inside 4 ft to cut my lead to 2up. That was a brilliant shot.
After that he had some bad luck, as he had a ridiculous bender from 10 ft for birdie at 13 that was like 7 in downhill, then he caught the wind on the wrong side on #14 that left him on the wrong tier. A meter on #15 led to a bunker shot while I was inside 5 ft. Just some tough breaks.
Thanks for the match Tyler, you were great to play with! Scorecard below.
