EPSTEIN LEADS WIRE TO WIRE IN WINNING THE 2010 EVERETT MEN’S AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP

(Pictured L to R) Runners up KC Chang, Paul Pavlos, and Reid Martin with 2010 Champion Matt Epstein at the awards presentation.

Matt Epstein grabbed the lead with an eagle 3 on the 2nd hole of the tournament at Walter Hall Golf Course on Saturday first round and never let up as he cruised to a 6 stroke victory with a final round one under par 71 at the par 72, 6750 yard Legion Memorial Golf Course. His two day total of 8 under par 136 is the tournament record.

Matt’s run away victory in the 2010 Everett Amateur capped an impressive summer of golf so far for the Everett Golf and Country Club Golfer and ended a string of recent near misses in northwest major amateur events. In the past two months he had finished second in the Snohomish County Amateur and third in the Seattle Amateur. He did nothing in this event to give those chasing him any hope that he could be caught. Starting the Sunday final round with a five shot lead after his impressive 65 at Walter Hall, he reeled off 8 pars and a birdie on the front nine at Legion and showing no signs of cracking as he increased his lead to 6 strokes. Epstein added an even par back nine giving him nine hole totals of 30-35-35-36 for the eight under par score of 136 in the 36 hole two day championship.

Defending Champion Reid Martin also from Everett Country Club, KC Chang from Harbour Point and Paul Pavlos from Echo Falls finished in a 3 way tie for 2nd at 142. Leader Board Summary:
