Sine wins 2009 Clark County Matchplay title
It’s been a long nine days of golf for Malone College junior Kyle Sine, but it culminated in the 2009 Clark County Matchplay Championship title.
Sine, a Shawnee High School grad, beat defending champion Andy Birch 3&1 in the 36-hole championship match on the North Course at Reid Park Golf Course on Sunday, Aug. 9.
“It was a really big win for me,” Sine said. “I haven’t won any big tournament like that before.”
Sine played in the first two rounds of the Matchplay last weekend, then played in the four-day Ohio Public Golf Association Ohio Publinx tournament, where he finished tied for ninth, at Cooks Creek Golf Club in Asheville, Ohio during the week.
On Saturday, Sine beat Steve Petticrew 1-up in the quarterfinals, then beat Joe Earley 2&1 in the semifinals.
“I just came back and played really well the last few days,” Sine said. “I really grinded out those matches.”
In the championship match, Sine led 3-up after 28 holes, but Birch mounted a comeback on the back nine.
“It wasn’t easy,” Sine said. “Birch is a great player. He came back well, Neither of us played our best golf, but we hung in there and I was able to pull it out.”
Sine has been among the leaders heading into the final round of the City Am the last two years, but hasn’t been able to bring home a title.
“It feels really good to get a victory after being so close so many times,” Sine said.
