2000 Matchplay Knockout
|
Richard Walsh won his first major competition with Woodvale, in comfortably beating Steve Watson in the 2000 final. He repeated his margin of victory from his semi-final to win by 3 and 2 on his home soil of Cherry Lodge. Richard led all match winning three of the first four holes using two of his six shots. Steve could not claw this back over four crucial holes between 6 and 9 where Richard had no shots and then lost the 10th to go 4 down. They exchanged the 12th and 13th and then Richard three putted the next from 20 feet when he need two for victory, though he was now dormy four. Steve prolonged the match with a rare par at the 15th but conceded victory on the long par-3 16th to Richard who this time needed two puts from six feet.
