ith one match to play at the 40th MGA/PGA Cup Matches,
the professionals held a slim advantage before a late surge
by Claudia Pilot and Brenda Williams gave the MGA a twopoint
victory at Bunker Hills Golf Club May 24.
Pilot and Williams both won the 16th hole to swing the match in
favor of the MGA, as the two would sweep all four points from professionals
Angela Ause and Jody Christensen.
" I was thinking on the last hole, 'What if this putt means something?' "
Pilot said afterward. " I was just trying to get my putt close. We had no
clue how close it was, but I said if it does come down to us, I don't want
to lose. "
The professionals still hold a commanding 27-11-2 overall lead, but
the amateurs have won three consecutive events, its longest streak since
winning three straight from 2003 to 2005. Only one championship has
been decided by less than three points since the two sides tied in 2004,
with the MGA retaining the cup.
Jim Lehman and Jon Empanger also played a big role in the MGA's
victory, sweeping all four possible points from professionals Bill Israelson
and Peter Krause.
" It was fun today because I grew up playing high school golf against
Bill Israelson and have known him since we were kids. Back in those
days, Israelson was the superstar, " he said. " [Krause] used to be the director
of golf at Windsong Farm and he used to be my swing coach, so
it was fun to have a match against those two. "
Empanger, who won the 2015 Senior Amateur Championship, rolled
in a birdie chance at the par-4 13th to take a late 2-up lead and would
hang on to edge Israelson, 1-up.
" It's fun to play because there's good competition, but it's a relaxed
atmosphere. I enjoy the format-it's fun to have two [matches] going
on at the same time, " Empanger said.
