Boyd shoots 31 on front nine, rolls to Section Match Play title

Michael Boyd shot 31 on the front nine and rode a hot putter to an easy 7 and 6 victory over Tracy Phillips in the twice-postponed final match of the PGA South Central Section Match Play Championship at Forest Ridge Golf Club.

Heavy rains in Broken Arrow had twice put off the meeting between the 2014 Section Player of the Year in Boyd and senior Player of the Year in Phillips. Phillips recently won the senior match play championship, but couldn’t get much going Sunday while Boyd made putts from everywhere.

The tournament was sponsored by Justice Golf Car, JaniKing, OMEGA and PGA Tour.
