SEVENTEEN-year-old George Fricker (Woodbridge) is the new Suffolk matchplay champion. He won the President's Mashie 5 and 4 in a one-sided final against Josh Driver (Diss) at Stowmarket.

Driver won the par five first with a birdie. Fricker was soon level when Driver lost his ball in water to the right on the second.

Fricker was ahead at the third and never looked back. A run of three birdies in five holes between the eighth and the 12th killed off Driver's hopes.

Fricker had his biggest scare in the semi-final against Wayne Jacques of Halesworth. Fricker saw putts lip out as Jacques took the match to extra holes.

Jacques thought he had won on the first with an eagle putt that missed by inches. Fricker sunk a long birdie putt to keep the match alive. On the second Fricker sunk his birdie putt while Jacques saw his horseshoe out.

Luck was with Fricker. He joined the competition as a reserve after Luke Green (Ipswich) withdraw,

The other semi-final was also close with drama on the 18th. Driver, one up, saw his tee shot rebound off a tree to end six feet from the pin. Marc Duszynski (Ipswich) was in a bunker from which he chipped in for a birdie two. Driver sunk his putt to win one up.

The first two rounds, played in sweltering conditions, went ahead without James Biggs (Diss), the holder, and Alfie Halil (Flempton) who both withdrew.

Fricker won a cliffhanger against Chris Vince (Haverhill) while Matt Rawlings beat Suffolk junior Taylor Crisp on the first extra hole.

First round: Duszynski(walked over Biggs; Sam Jensen (Flempton) beat Sam Renville (Bury St Edmunds) two up; Jed Seeley (Newton Green) beat Chris Bartrum (Diss) two up; Driver walked over Halil; Jacques beat Ben Sayers (Hintlesham) one up; Rawlings beat Crisp at 19th;. Fricker beat Chris Vince (Haverhill) at 22nd; Matt Lockwood beat Andy Cunningham (both Stowmarket) one up.
