Phillips downs Fleming in Section Match Play finale
Tracy Phillips of Tulsa last week raced past Tim Fleming of Oklahoma City 9 and 7 in the 36-hole finals of the South Central Section Yamaha Match Play Championship at Southern Hills Country Club. Due to the pandemic, pros have been arranging matches at their convenience throughout the summer with the finals of both the regular division and senior division to play at Southern Hills. Phillips and Fleming advanced to the finals in both divisions, and will play their senior division final at a later date.
The match was all square through eight holes, but Phillips took command by winning six of the final 10 holes on the first 18, including with a birdie on the par-5 13th and an eagle on the par-5 16th.
In the assistants division final, Andre Tourinho won a decisive 12 and 11 match over Zach Tucker of Gaillardia Country Club in Oklahoma City.
