On a beautiful afternoon at Lake View County Club Drew Deimel successfully defended the EDGA Match Play championship by defeating Matt Barto 5&3.

Deimel started quickly capturing the first 3 holes and would never really be challenged. He remained 3 up as they completed the front before registering the first birdie of the match on #10 to go 4 up. After halving 4 holes to take the match to dormie, Deimel hit his approach on 15 to 5 feet to end the match.

This is Drew’s 4th EDGA major title. He captured the Amateur in 2010 and now has 3 match play titles, adding the 2019 title to those he won in 2012 and 2018.
