\n\t2016 Grande Meadows Match Play Tournament<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\tBob Hoyles wins 2016 Match Play Championship<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\t""<\/a>Bob Hoyles won the Grande Meadows Match Play championship for the 3rd time as he defeated Mike Russell 2UP to capture the 2016 title. Russell got off to a great start on the front 9 as he birdied Hole #1 to go 1 up followed by 3 straight pars to go 3UP after 4 holes. The score stayed that way until Hoyles birdied Holes #8 & #9 to finish the front 9 just 1DN.<\/p>\n

\n\tHoyles drew even on Hole #10 with a par but Russell birdied Hole #11 to go 1UP. However, not to be outdone Hoyles took the next 3 holes to go 2UP after Hole #14. Russell took Holes #15 & #16 to even the match. But the pressure proved too much for Russell as he bogeyed Hole #17 to go 1 DN and Hoyles closed out the match with a bogey on Hole #18. <\/p>\n

\n\tHoyles previously won for the first time over Dick Hanrahan in 2006 and the second time over Perry Stone in 2009.<\/p>\n
