McGARRY CUP FINAL 2011
The final of the McGarry Cup Club Matchplay Championship took place recently and what a thriller it turned out to be between the Jimmy Bruin playing partners Colin Condon and Tommy Looby (photo). After some cracking golf in the first 4 holes, Colin took the early advantage to be 2 up, but Tommy hit back immediately with back-to-back birdies on 5 & 6 to level the match. Tommy edged ahead on the 8th and held this lead until a birdie on the 12th from Colin levelled the match again. A missed par putt from Tommy on the 13th handed a 1 hole advantage to Colin with 5 holes to play. 3 missed birdie oppurtunities on 14th, 15, & 16th looked like they could comeback to haunt Colin as Tommy birdied the long Par 3 17th to level the match. A dramatic last hole as Tommy’s tee-shot could not be located , so a provisional ball had to be played. Colin was sitting on the back edge of the 18th and it looked like it was all over. A fantastic 30ft putt from Tommy salvaged a bogey 4 on the last and this meant that Colin had to hold a 7ft downhill putt to win the match. The putt was sank and this denied history as Tommy would have been the first man to win the McGarry Cup twice. A great finale to a fantastic matchplay competition.
