Notes: Match play championship set for Waterville
Maine State Golf Association tournament will be 3 days, with 5 rounds
...Match play features two golfers playing head-to-head for each hole. The match is over when one player can’t be caught. For example, if a player is ahead by two holes with one to play, the match is over.
The match play championship was reinstated at the request of some players in 2010. Five players have taken part in all seven match play tournaments since 2010: Joe Alvarez (who won in 2010), Ricky Jones (2014 winner), Matt Greenleaf (2013 winner), Mike Doran, and Scott Sirois. Of those five, Alvarez is the only player to win at least one match in each of the seven tournaments. With a 16-6 record in match play, Alvarez has the highest winning percentage (72.7 percent) in the tournament’s seven-year history,
This is the third big event hosted by Waterville in recent years. The club hosted the Maine Amateur in 2015, and the Maine Women’s Amateur in 2014
