Jarryd Dillas and Ann Symonds Bermuda golf March 9 2013Jarryd Dillas and Ann Symonds are the 2013 Bermuda Amateur Match Play Champions, while Andrew Osbourne came away with the Men’s Consolation Championship title when the tournament came to an end yesterday [Mar 9].

In the Men’s Championship Flight, Dillas defeated number three seed Chris Brough 8 & 6. After the first 18 holes Dillas was 6 up.

After winning the championship for the fourth year in a row Dillas said, “The conditions were tough out there. Not only did I have the challenge of my opponent, I also had to deal with the wind and rain but I thought to myself, he has the same conditions to deal with as well.”

In the Ladies Championship Flight, number four seed Ann Symonds defeated Linda Down 1 up. Symonds who was 3 up after 18 was still 3 up after 31 holes with five to play. Down came storming back and missed a putt on the 36th hole that would have sent the game to a sudden-death play-off.

Symonds said, “Down pushed me hard today. She never gave up and I just had to concentrate on my game. I was getting extremely tired after playing 36 holes yesterday and doing another 36 today was another big challenge but I am happy with my game.”

In the Men’s Consolation Flight, Andrew Osbourne needed to go to sudden-death before getting the better of Julian Brassington. The pair were even after 18 holes and Osbourne won the title on the 19th hole.
