After barely qualifying, Domingo Jojola and Ryan Sloane win by taking out the defending champs in the final match
Sloane and Jojola defeated defending champions Andrew Gunson and Matt Montez, 1 up, in the final match for the win, which is Sloane’s first in five tries. Still, it almost ended a lot earlier than that.
Jojola and Sloane barely got onto the match-play bracket, shooting a 2-under 70 in qualifying and taking the 31st seed out of 32 teams. But they started their run with a 2-and-1 win over the stroke-play medalists Kyle Christian and Bill Hurwitz before winning four matches during the second weekend of play.
All of their matches were close, with the first two going to the 17th and the final three ending on the 18th.
Montez, meanwhile, drained a clutch 12-footer for par on the par-3 16th to keep the match going. Montez shortened the deficit to 1 up by making a 20-footer for birdie on No. 17 and the two teams traded pars on the final hole for Jojola and Sloane to come out on top.
For Gunson and Montez, it was a spirited defense of their title even if they didn’t actually win it again. They took the No. 1 seed as defending champions, then won four matches, including a 23-hole match in the second round against Craig Miyamoto and Dave Swanson.
The Sloane-Jojola partnership is rock solid, as demonstrated by a post-tournament text from Jojola to Sloane.
“It was a great win for Dom and truly a sweet win for me as I wanted the team victory so bad on this course that had been so good to me over the years,” Sloane said. “Domingo texted me this morning that it’s now official: I am the ‘King of Bing.’”
