HARROLD v FRITSCH IN MATCH-PLAY FINAL ON HI5 PRO TOUR
FROM THE SPANISH Hi5 PRO TOUR WEBSITE
The Quarter Finals of The Hi5 ProTour Lumine Lakes Open gave all competitors the excellent chance to enhance their match-play skills. The Greg Norman designed Lakes course is built on a nature reserve and its many reed edged lakes provide a safe haven for thousands of water loving birds.
The final eight competitors were hoping (if they won their match) to play a rare competitive 36 holes. The fitness that these young pros have is an important factor for a long day’s success.
Eight players (four matches) started the round under the watchful eye of Chief Referee David Ashton, who knew that many competitors were meeting match-play as a new tournament. All players had to fight hard, but the matches were very, correct and friendly.
RESULTS
QUARTER-FINALS
Liam Connolly bt Michael Wolf 2 holes.
Florian Fritsch bt Sascha Elender 3 and 2
William Harrold bt Moltas Mattson 3 and 1
James Housby bt Florian Elender 6 and 5
SEMI-FINALS
The four players in the afternoon semi-finals found a differently playing course because of strong testing winds and much drier greens. Excellent skill and experience was required and shown by all who played and especially the 2 finalists. Results:
Florian Fritsch bt Liam Connolly at 20th
William Harrold bt James Housby 6 and 4
William Harrold from Norfolk via the US college golf circuit is the in form player, seeking his third Hi5 Pro Tour triumph in a row! He beat an also in form player and fellow Englishman, James Housby by 6 and 4.
William is the favourite on paper, but he is facing in the final, Florian Fritsch of Germany, a European Tour experienced pro who had to pull out all his huge experience to fight off a future star, the determined (never give up!) English player, Liam Connolly. Florian managed to bring out short shots of great touch to edge out Liam on the 20th.
The losing semi finalists will also play for third and fourth places.
