Lakeville, MA--Day 2 of the NEPGA Pro-Pro Match Play began with high expectations and high pressure situations, as many of the Day 1 matches were yet to be concluded. Three matches from day 1 began on the back nine, Grimes/Crovetti and Amaral/Bradley only needed 18 holes to advance to the quarter finals, but Troy Pare, PGA of Wannamoisett CC and Jeff Martin, PGA of Norton CC needed 20 holes to defeat John Hickson, PGA and Bob Darling, PGA to advance to the quarters. Runner up in last year’s event, Pare hit his approach to 6 feet on 18 to force a playoff hole, and after both teams made par on the par 4 1st (1st playoff hole), he hit a masterful approach on the par 4 2nd (2nd playoff hole) to ensure the victory for his team.
