Fred Garcia is the Golf Shop Match Play Champion! 

The match came down to the wire and Fred was able to hold on to a one up victory.  The match was played on the Mountain and Lake Courses.  Fred was able to hit all 14 fairways, always keeping the pressure on Hollis.  Hollis made a nice come back from a two down deficit by winning the 14th and 15th holes to draw the match even.  Hollis however made a costly bogey on the 16th hole (Lake #7) that put Fred 1up with two holes to play. After a beautiful 8 Iron to 4' on the 17th hole (Lake#8), Hollis was feeling the pressure and unable to capitalize on his birdie putt to draw the match back to even.  On Lake #9, Fred sealed his victory with another accurate drive and hybrid to 12' as the sun was setting on the horizon and Hollis' reign as defending champion. 

Fred's steady play throughout the tournament earned him his 2nd Match Play Championship in the past 5 years and a new Scotty Cameron Putter.  Fred looks forward to playing Sam Yang, Cinnabar Hills Men's Club Champion, to see who the true champion is!  It should be a great match as the best in the golf shop takes on the best from the men's club.
