In a very well played match, Mike Kloecker of LP defeated Cameron Zbrzeznj of Erie 2 up in the finals of the EDGA Junior Match Play which was contested Friday June 25th at Gospel Hill GC.

The championship, which was a battle of the two low qualifiers, was filled with excitement and momentum swings. Zbrzeznj held a 2 up lead after 8 but lost the ninth to turn 1up. He would quickly rebound with a birdie on ten to regain his two up lead. He followed that up with an eagle 2 on the eleventh but, unfortunately that wasn’t good enough to gain a hole as BOTH players holed their second shots for eagle and the hole was halved. Kloecker then cut the lead in half with a birdie on 12. After a couple of tied holes Kloecker’s birdie on 15 squared the match.

Kloecker birdied again on 17 and held the lead playing the final hole. Zbrzeznj missed the 18th green and, when he failed to get it up and down the hole and the match were conceded to Kloecker.

In the first flight Alex Shindledecker clipped Nick Hayes 2 up.
