Jan. 18, 2010 - PHONY Open (not) in Hawaii
ALO-HUH??
Matt Hegarty earned his first win in nearly three years, taking the PHONY Open (not) in Hawaii January 18 at Fidalae Country Pub. His 2-under par total was enough to fend off a pesky Chris Datres. Both men hovered around Even par for the better part of the night, but it was Hegarty who held on long enough to be the Big Kahuna and gain his first PDGA Tour victory since the 2007 Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by golfdarts.org.
The elated champion was stoked to report that he will not be participating in the 2011 tournament of champions as a marker, but rather as a bona fide competitor.
Scott Lee and Reed Burton rounded out the PHONY field and enjoyed some pleasant conversation.
Final Results (par 70):
1. Matthew Hegarty 72-65-71 208 (-2)
2. Chris Datres 68-72-75 215 (+5)
3. Scott Lee 76-72-72 220 (+10)
4. Reed Burton 79-77-74 230 (+20)
