Bursting onto the golfing scene in 2006 Matt "Miguel Sanchez" Thompson has taken the Redyr Cup world by storm. With a natty dress sense and having taken over Grant's PGA unsanctioned driver Matt T revels in the world of matchplay and drives Bill close on the chat stakes during the competition. Inspired by Ben Shipley's closet of retro, Manchester inspired headgear, Matt is becoming the Redyr Cup's clothes horse and is rumoured to be working with Ian Poulter to tone down his wardrobe. (Matts that is not Ian's)
2012 saw him lead Simon Livingston as the tour's ace driver and only Bill's ability to continually play below his handicap meant that Matt failed to win a point in the Singles on Saturday afternoon.
Every superstar has to experience the downs to measure against the peaks at a career: - coming down 18 on day 2 may well have been that point - not even the trick golfer that evening could have hit the thin wire 140 yards away that Matt did. Could you hear Bill whispering on the wind?........
