Champions:  Eddie Ryan and James Walsh 

Final Match: Eddie Ryan / James Walsh vs Ron Sanossian / Joe Wooley

This match started off just as expected as another classic back and forth battle with neither team backing down. There were 7 lead changes in the first nine holes with neither team leading by more than one hole. By all signs, a great final was in the making as the teams exchanged wins on the front nine. Eddie and James took the early lead on the first hole with a par by Eddie.  Joe and Ron bounced back with a net par by Joe on number 2 and a par, net birdie on 3 and Joe was up to "his tricks" again so they had their first one up lead. Matching pars on 4 resulted in the first half of the early match but then a very impressive par on the always tough par 4 5th, by Eddie got the match back to even. James got into the act with a birdie on 6 that gave James and Eddie a one up lead. They were able to hold the lead for one hole with half on 7 but Joe came right back with a net par on 8 to square the match. But Eddie and James came right back with another win on 9, to end the first nine one up going into the all important back nine.

Ron and Joe showed their toughness early on the back as they fought hard with net pars on both 10 and 11 to keep James and Eddie's lead to only one. However James and Eddie found a way to win both 12 and 13 ( natural par on 13 by Eddie) to go up by 3.  Eddie might have had thoughts of putting them away with another rock solid par on the tough 14th, but Ron S. had other ideas with a par of his own (for a net birdie) on the tough 4 par to reduce the lead back to 2. However Eddie and James proved just how tough they can be with back to back pars on 15 and 16 (4 straight pars in a row by Eddie ) to seal the deal, win the match and to give Ron and Joe their first loss in four matches.

Ron and Joe played extremely well throughout and should be proud of themselves. They just ran into a bit of a "buzz saw" or more like a snake eyes artillery attack, by the fearsome team of James and Eddie (Gunny) Ryan. Congratulations to both teams but especially to James and Eddie for taking the first Major Championship of this year. They really came out guns blazing and are worthy champions in Saxony Club's first Major Victory of 2010!
