Cole Wins First Match at JR Falls City Tourney

7/23/13 – The match play portion of the Jr Falls City Tourney began this morning.  It took 20 holes but Cole finally defeated Travis Adams, an incoming senior from Irvine, KY.  Cole was down 4 thru 7 holes but he got the putter going on 8 & 9 to go out 2  down.  He reduced the deficit to one down thru 11 but ended up 2 down with two to play.  He rolled a critical,  4 ft putt in on 17 and another 12 ft putt on 18 to square the match.  

Cole’s putter remained hot for the duration of extended match.  On the first playoff hole he hit a 7 ft putt to halve the hole and on the second and final playoff hole he drained a 15 ft birdie putt to win the match.

Cole will enter the second round of match play tomorrow morning against Andrew Schmitt of Louisville, KY.
