Duncan and Metje Claim Pinehurst in Convincing Fashion

 

 Coronado, CA — The San Diego County Pinehurst concluded on Sunday morning at Coronado Golf Club.  Some tricky hole locations and final round pressure saw some higher scoring on Sunday. 
 
Patrick Duncan Jr and Matt Metje won wire-to-wire and were never really threatened in the final round.  Duncan and Metje opened up with a 4-under 32 on the front nine and increased their lead to 8 strokes at one point in the final round.  Crusing to the winner’s circle, Duncan and Metje played flawlessly on their way to the title that included the dynamic duo firing the low round of the tournament each day.  After opening up with a 8-under par 64 they fired the low final round, a 6-under par 66 to win at 14-under par 130 for the weekend.   With the win both Duncan and Metje earned 125 points towards the 2012 Century Club Matches. 
 
Although they were unable to sustain a charge at the leaders Joseph Ryon and Bucky Coe finished in solo 2nd place.  Coe and Ryon played well all weekend and closed with a 2-under par 70 to claim 2nd place and 100 points a piece at 9-under par 135.  Four teams tied for 3rd at 7-under par 137 including the team of Gary Robinson/John Kollus, Brian Hess/Cavin McCall, Jeff Hunter/Ed Cuff, and Phil Walker/Don Ceglar.
