Yes. Same photo. Same Result! A very happy Mo sabih Again taking the honours well clear of the field, demolishing Chris Priems’s 2011 Matchplay dreams along the way.
Was only three weeks ago when Mo played his first round match. Not only did he win comfortably, he claimed the eight championship points with a +3 Par round. If a book was run on this years Matchplay, Mo Sabih would have to be odds on! Suggest not to play him on a Par day…
Contary to the weather forecastors(who all should be on a bonus system), perfect playing conditions graced our cherished track. Albiet a tad soft underground, preferred lies, and the ever increasing quality of the greens suggested quality rounds were there for the taking. As it turned out, going proved very difficult with 95% of members carding -2 or worse. Only Mo Sabih(+4), and Jan Siemon(+1) were able to beat par this week.
A few different ways to play our course presented golfers this week, with interesting tees, and even more challenging pin positions. None more so than the 14th(ranked 17), which proved extreamly tough giving up only four halves or better for the day!
Second round Matchplay has been completed, bring on the Quarters. Results as follows:
Damian Lee def Mike Mann 4&2
Mo Sabih def Chris Priems 4&2
Well done to all who have progressed.
Ball hole won by Targe Mifsud, who was only just shorter than Harry Bughen’s(both birdied). The cash went to the smiling Mrs Tony Mifsud who was taken out to dinner.
