The "Real" Match Play Championship - As the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship is being played in Arizona this week, a less publicized but just as important match is being held at Cinnabar Hills today.  Fred Garcia, the reigning golf shop champion, will take on Sam Yang, the current Men's Club match play champion at 1:30. 

The match will be held on the Mountain and Lake Courses.

Despite his enormous rounds played advantage, Sam is a slight underdog to the veteran.  Expectations are very high that this will be a legendary match.  The two have never faced off before, as both have feared each other's talents.  The injury report is extensive for both players and the slightest twitch could lead to disaster for either.  Sam has been playing with a torn meniscus in his right knee, but that hasn't stopped him from already posting 24 rounds this year!  Fred, who is tuning up for the US Senior Open qualifier, suffers from two degenerative disks in his lower back.  He has lost a fair amount of yardage off the tee, but his short game more than makes up for his lack of power.  As both players have been dodging the status as the favorite, a quiet confidence rises in both.  We expect a very competitive match that should come down to the challenging last few holes on the Lake Course, the same three holes that secured Fred's stunning victory over Hollis Kelley last week.  Check in with the Golf Shop this afternoon, as we should have updates available.  Good luck to both!
