Villerot slays the Giants for the 2013 Match Play title
Steve Villerot was the last man into the 2013 Match Play Championship field and the last man standing after running the table on 4 of the biggest names on Tour. The 16th seeded Villerot beat the Tour’s top ranked player and 2-time Match Play champ, Kelly Arnold, 5&4 on Friday and followed that with a grinding win over 20-time Tour winner Rick Persichetti 2&1 on Saturday.
A semi-final 7&5 win over Tom W Litzler set up a championship match with another 20-win member, including 3 Match Play titles, Greg Kline. In winning his first major championship, Villerot beat 4 players that have combined for 24 majors in their Mulligan Tour careers.
Kline accepted the runner-up position for a 2nd time after playing in the final 4 for the 6th time in tournament history. Jon Heikkinen won the 3rd place match over Tom W Litzler – each player making it to the final 4 for the 2nd year in a row.
