The Ron Coleman reign continues as he captured yet another EDGA major with a sound 4&3 defeat of David Hewett in the 38th EDGA Match Play championship. Coleman also becomes the all-time leader in EDGA majors with 7 (5 Match and 2 Amateur) surpassing Brett Kieffer (3,3) David Ciacchini (5,1) and Tom Amendola (3,3) and is tied with David Ciacchini as the all-time match play king with 5 victories.

The match was close most of the way with Hewett gaining a one up advantage with a birdie on 3. Coleman would win #4 after an errant Hewett tee shot, and then #7 with a birdie and then #8 after another errant tee shot by the runner up. Hewett would cut that lead back to 1 on 10 but Coleman would reclaim the 2 up lead after Hewett found trouble down the left side of the 12th. Coleman closed out the match with a par on 14 and a birdie on 15 for the 4&3 victory.

This was Hewett’s 6th runner up finish (3 match, 3 amateur). Coleman also continued to build on his match winning streak which now sits at 20. Also along the way Hewett became the leader in match play appearances with 30, surpassing the previous mark by Tom Amendola of 29.

Sorry for the confusion.

Lawrence Park was not able to defend their 2008 title but, with new member Bob Paris, they were able to capture the 2010 Men’s Interclub title at the renovated Erie Golf Club.

Actually, Whispering Woods GC forged a tie with the Park in the 6 count 5 format with team totals of 376. The tie breaker, the sixth score, along with the title went to Lawrence Park.

Bob Paris, formerly a Lake Shore member, was competing for his new club for the first time and fashioned a 2-under par round of 70 to capture medalist honors. Whispering Woods’ Don Fessler, Jr. was closest, finishing with an even par round of 72.

Next were multiple EDGA-champion Ron Coleman (WW), Dave Lehner (E) and Homer Capotis (LV) with 74’s. 3-over 75’s were recorded by Ted Grassi III (LP), Evan Watkins (LP), and Cameron Zbrzenzj (E). Rounding out the top ten were David Hewett (WW) and Ellery Tarbell (LV) with 76’s
