  • Virtual Tour Jul-Sep Quarterly Season Champion is...

    27 Oct 2015

    Congratulations to Courtney01, the newest WGT Virtual Tour Quarterly Season Champion!

    Last week, Tour Legend Courtney01 took on Champion tier fmagnets to compete for the Jul-Sep Virtual Tour Quarterly Season Championship match. This Match Play round was a real nail-biter and could have gone either way with these top players. Here's a quick recap, in case you missed it...

    Courtney01 came out strong with a birdie on hole 3 and an eagle on 4 to stay 2-UP through the first 5 holes.

    Competition held strong while fmagnets fought back, then made things interesting with an exciting comeback to even out the score on the 10th. 

    Despite Courtney01's attempts to get ahead, fmagnets held strong under pressure to even the score again by hole 14. Ultimately, the match came down to the last two holes, where Courtney01 followed up a great shot with a birdie on 18 for the win and the 10,000 WGT Credit bonus prize.

    You can see all the highly skilled action for yourself, in the replay below.
