Frikkie Barnard is the 2021 Singles Match Play Champion!
After 5 Virtual Matches and 5 Head to Head Match Frikkie Barnard has defeated everyone in his path to become the 2021 Singles Match Play Champion!
Well Done to Robert Michael for making the Final and pushing Frikkie all the way.
How the Tournament worked
Virtual Group Stage
Players drawn into a group will go head to head virtually. If both players are in a Event field, the player earning the most Individual Stableford points on the day will take the win and 3 points on the Group Log.
The Top 4 Teams in the Standings will go through to the Knockout stage starting with the Round of 32.
Knockout Stage – Head to Head
Players will be in the same Fourball and take each other on head to head in traditional Match Play. The winner will progress to the next Knockout Stage.
Why two Phases?
There is not enough time and events to have the Team and Singles Match Play Tournaments both be traditional head to head. While the Team Match play takes place the Singles Match play match ups will be Virtual. Once the Team Group stage is complete players will be freed up to play Singles head to head.
How the Points System will work:
WIN – 3 Points
DRAW/HALVE – 1 Point Each
LOSS – 0 points
Accumulated Individual Stableford Points:
The Top 4 players of each group will progress to the Knockout Stage. If there is a tie the player with the most I.S points will progress.
