Sunday at Match Play
The only thing that stands between a showdown between 3-time winner Greg Kline and the ’07 winner DeVonne Mowry at the 2009 Match Play Championship is Kelly Arnold and Young Tom Litzler. Kline, winner in ’04, ’05 and ’06, beat Erik Meland 4&3 in the first round and then got past the ’02 champ David Martin in round 2. Mowry beat Thom Bales 2&1 on Friday and then John Powell on Saturday.
Kelly Arnold advanced to the Sunday final four by beating Tom Sachs 2&1 on Friday and then beating his Memorial tournament partner Rick Persichetti on Saturday. Young Tom Litzler dispatched the defending champ Bob Bruning 2&1 on Friday and then beat his dad, Old Tom Litzler on Saturday also by a 2&1 score.
Kline is playing Arnold in one semi-final on Sunday morning while Mowry plays Young Tom in the other. The final and 3rd place matches are set for Sunday afternoon.
