  Thanks for the kind words Villa and I must say that was one intense tight match ! lol ! Villa played so well but just didn't have that little bit of luck which would have changed the result of the match.  It's unfortunate that there had to be a loser and congrats to Villa for an excellent tourney and making it all the way to this stage after an indifferent start.  Thanks to niv and everyone for your patience and I'm sorry again for the delay.  On to the huge game next week against Avatar Lee, should be one hell of a match !

  Congrats to werksux.  Expected a great fight from him, and definitely got one.  Made all the pressure 10 footers, and stuck the key shots when it mattered.  Thanks for the great tourney niv, I know all the hard work you did, makes them worth playing with the good organization.

  BB, I appreciate the compliment man.  I'm fortunate to have held on against an opponent of your level.  You put up a great fight & had my back against the wall for almost the whole round.  Thanks for a great season and thanks niv for organizing it!

  I'd like to be the first to congratulate Coolswing on his advancement to the Finals!!  Best of luck friend, you played a great match and deserved the win!  And to all the other contestants who made this league a blast to play in, the players made it great!  My only regret is not being as polished of late to put up a real fight... but hey no excuses!  And lastly thank you very much Niv for once again (and hopefully not for the last time) a exquisitely organized and run tournament!

  Good luck to Worksux and Coolswing in the WMPL Finals!!

  Lee

  Thanks very much for the nice words Lee and thanks for a great game buddy, you are truely a champion and a great guy as I felt that you could have won the match with just a little bit of luck.

  The match was much closer than it looks and really the end result should have been all squared as Lee should not have lost 2 of the holes.  He missed a short putt on Hole #3 and a 1 footer on Hole #11 mainly due to lack of play in the last few weeks and just plain bad luck.  

  The highlight for me was a tee shot to 3 ft for bird on Hole #8, another tee shot to 2ft on hole #17 and the best and most important shots was an approach to about 5ft on the last under a lot of pressure.  Also i made 2 key putts of about 15-20 ft to halved the hole on #12 and #15.  For Lee he had many great approaches to within 3ft and his best would have been the tee shot to about 2ft on Hole #14 for bird.  

  All in all it was a very enjoyable and competitive game, like i've mentioned before luck was the different between us today and considering that Lee have hardly played at all the last few weeks, he still pulled off a great game and almost won ! 

  Just one more match to go and I hope lady luck will be with me then ! Thanks again Niv.

  Great job cool.  You're one hell of a player in match play.  Should be a great final match, neither you or werk seem to be rattled by pressure in the least.   If you want a warm-up match sometime let me know, been too long since we've played.
