Post date: Aug 27, 2013 11:35:29 PM

It was a terrific morning to begin the final match of the 2013 Match Play Tournament. Jan Simms and Marilyn Fabits met on the first hole at Country Club at 7:51 am, Tuesday, August 27th. Marilyn was accompanied by Jean Meadows and Marylin Garris joined Jan Simms. The gallery was primarily made up of Marilyn Fabits’ Tuesday group. Also watching was Karen Brashears as BVWGC Historian and Barb Angstead, MPT co-chair. Jan battled the dense, wet rough on the first two holes but battled back to all square after five. Jan was able to win six with a fine par and Marilyn took hole #eight returning the match to all square. Marilyn’s putter let her down on 8 and a tie on 9 had Marilyn down 1 at the turn. On ten Marilyn was again able to win the hole with a par and she took control of the match at that point, winning 11, 12, 13, 14 and a birdie on 15 to secure the match 5 and 3. It was exciting play to end the match play tournament. Congratulations to both contestants for their fine play to get to the final match and a congratulations for a match well played by Marilyn Fabits, the 2013 MP Champion!!
