Just concluded a thrilling match between cyl6/Bartmania and BolloxinBruges/Werksux. Some great playing with an unsatisfying ending. Before the recap, just wanted to say thanks to Bollie and Werk for working with us to schedule this match - it was a great example of all players working together to get a match in. As always, they were great to play with and are obviously awesome players.
Bart and I started out on fire as Bollie and Werk were just waking up (literally, it was 6 or 7am their time). We birdied 10 and 11 to take a 2 up lead. We had a 6 footer below the hole at 12 to go 3 up, but it was a very tough putt and just lipped out. At 13 Werk hit a nice one to 15 ft above the hole, and Bollie of course drained it to cut the lead to 1up. At 14 we had a tough 13 fter to keep pace, and it fell to keep us 1 up.
Werk and Bart were metered on 15 tee, and we had to lay up. Bart then hit an awesome 9i from 138 into 6 ft at 15, and we made it to halve with Werk's 2-putt par. At 16 with a tough wind, Bollie hit a nice one into 15 ft, and Werk calmly drained a beauty to square the match. 17 both Werk and Bart had 50/50 looks at birdie, both just barely missed.
We were AS coming to 18. Bart's approach didn't get a good bounce and was 61 ft short. Werk's 3wd took a bad bounce and launched above the hole in the first cut. Bollie's chip was nice, but it rolled about 8 ft past. I blasted my putt (25 in up) and it curled 4 ft past the hole. Werk just missed, and Bart nailed one of the toughest 4 fters out there to give us the win with a par. It was a good match, and on that tough green, you never know. Great playing guys.
