An amazing event, with amazing talent. A great venue and incredibly well run, kudos goes to Luke Marburg for running the entire thing and somehow maintaining his sanity enough to take 2nd place in the major tournament!
We can't wait for the next one... The Melbourne Matchplay Championship is a must for all keen competitors and is one of the major tournaments in the Australian calendar. See you next year!
