Match Play Day 1
Brighton (Huron Meadows)
On a wet day, in matches too thrilling to describe, the final four for next weeks Championship were determined. Kevin Gregoire took Tom Moran in the opening match 1 up, then bested Rick Floyd 5 & 3, who had beat Chuck Withey 2 & 1. Ryan Kiekbusch made the semi’s with a 1 up win over Brian Lardin and 2 up win over Jeff Cubel, who had beaten Tyler Floyd 2 up. Tim Markel opened his title defense with a 19 hole win over Ken Westerman and a 2 up victory over former champ Helen Puffenberger, who took Eric Kiekbusch 2& 1 in the first round. Corey McCue took match 1 after Rich Dunmore was forced to withdraw with an injury after 14 holes. He then took Jeff Pasz 6 &5, who has topped Dan Gubachy in round one 1 up. In the consolation matches, Gubachy benefited from Dunmore’s withdrawl, Ken Westerman took Eric Kiekbusch 3 & 2, Tyler Floyd topped Lardin 4 & 2, and Withy beat Moran 6 & 5.
In next weeks semi-finals, #1 seed Kevin Gregoire will face #12 seed, rookie Ryan Kiekbusch and #2 seed Corey McCue will face #3 Tim “Major” Markel.
