OVGA Amateur Golf Tour

The Hamilton Horsemen will be well represented in the Championship of the Applebee’s Match Play Tournament. 

In the semi-finals at Circling Hills, Tom Camacho defeated Ron Spencer, 2 up.  Camacho ran out to a 3 up lead after 3 holes and made the turn with a 2 up advantage.  After 16 holes, Spencer fought back to even up the match.  Camacho won the 17th hole and his par on the 18th closed out the match for a 2 up victory.

In the other semi-final match, Darin DePew outlasted Ed Thompson, 5&3.  DePew made the turn with a 2 up advantage that he held for the last 5 holes of the first nine.  When they made the turn, DePew put the finishing touches on the match, winning 3 of the first 4 holes and closing the match out on #6 (they started on the back 9).

The championship pits the 2007 match-play champion Tom Camacho, who is undefeated in head-to-head match play in his OVGA career against Darin DePew, who avenged his quarterfinal ouster to Ed Thompson in last year’s tournament.  The championship match will be contested on August 23 at Lassing Pointe Golf Course in Union, KY.
