Troy Matteson Gets Close Win at Frys.com Open

The latest PGA Tour Confidential has opened a new win at the Frys.com open. This was led by Troy Matteson with a close victory. The plays that were on the course led to a three-way playoff by Jamie Lovemark and Rickie Fowler, leading to Matteson’s close victory. With the events of the weekend, were several alternative moves that created a different ending than most expected.

Matteson’s victory was one that not even he was expecting while he was playing the Frys.com course. His main faults happened at the 17th and 18th holes, both which he bogeyed and left open for both Fowler and Lovemark. He recovered from this by a birdie in the second hole for the overall win. His game throughout the weekend kept this same change in focus. On Thursday, he fell behind with a 2 – over 72. Both Friday to Saturday, he changed his focus, which led to 61s, which is one of the lowest scores recorded on the tour. The later combination of plays that Matteson scored led to his overall championship win. At the same time, this led to a fierce competition because of the struggles in the 17th and 18th holes.

For Lovemark and Fowler, their turn into second and third place is one that will keep them in the competition, even though they are low on the scoreboard. For Lovemark, this placement makes him eligible for the Q-school in North Carolina. Both scored an average of 64s, which kept the competition close, especially for the tie places after Matteson. Next week will bring in a new set of champions for the PGA Tour Confidential with the Viking Classic, to be held in Madison Massachusetts. The win is for $3.6 million and was held last year by Will MacKenzie.
