Hurley Captures Nebraska Match Play Championship
June 29, 2009
BELLEVUE, Neb. - Texas A&M's John Hurley defeated Andy Sajevic 7 and 6 on Sunday at Willow Lakes Golf Course to capture his second Nebraska Match Play Championship. Hurley, won also won the event in 2007, shot a 3-under 33 on the first nine and led by four holes at the turn. He extended his lead to 5-up after the first 18. Through 27 holes, Hurley was up by eight and eventually closed out the match with a 20-foot eagle putt on the par 5 12th hole. A monstrous tee shot left him a 130-yard wedge into the green for his second shot. "It felt good to get out and get an early lead," Hurley said. " I was hitting some good wedges. Andy hit some good shots, but I stuck it in there closer and made some putts. He was close to making a lot of putts, which would have made it a lot tighter match." Through the 30 holes he played Sunday, Hurley was 8-under. "He never really took the foot off my back," Sajevic said. "He kept the pressure on and made me make putts. I couldn't put any pressure on him." For good luck, Hurley wore the same A&M shirt he wore when the Aggies defeated Arkansas to win the NCAA Championship in May. "This was the national championship shirt, so I figured I had to bring it out for the day," Hurley said.
