Sunday is upon us at the Missouri Open and match play will be the name of the game from this point out. The five-course qualifier – results of which can be found here – was the focus on Saturday. Today the 32 players that made the cut will duke it out for the title and the $2,000 top prize.

Live blog is up and we’ll be providing match info as it comes in. Don’t forget, we’ll also be streaming matches at www.pegttour.com/blog/live and we’ll alert you when some of the marquee showdowns are up and running.

You can access the updated main bracket through PEGT’s website and stay tuned for results.

Cheers.

And we’re back. The real tournament is upon us, and Saturday will serve as the qualifying day for the 2012 Missouri Open. The live blog is up an running below, and we’ll provide plenty of updates as they happen.

We will also be streaming some game play live at www.pegttour.com/blog/live, which is up and running right now. We’re working out the kinks for matches, but this is pretty wonderful if you’re a Golden Tee nerd like me. Thanks to the wonderful Jimmy Parker for setting this up.

Looooong day ahead. The calcutta will start at noon, which serves as a Golden Tee bid-a-thon for those unfamiliar with the process. After that everyone will play each 2012 course and the top 32 will be placed into the main bracket.

Should be fun, and here we go.

6:51 p.m.: Looks like we’ll have 64 (!!!) signups for the handicap tournament. That’s a monster field already, and we’re keeping registration open for another hour or so. Come on over and play!

Friday night at the Missouri Open is setting up to be a doozy. Although the actual tournament won’t kick off until tomorrow, the festivities are underway and booze is a flown’. NOTE: This is pretty much expected.

The handicap tournament will be played tonight and there are already more signups in this event than most normal tourneys see during prime time. We’ll provide some results as they come in and [orders another bucket of beers] really take tonight very serious.

New Cards, y’all.

And we’re off…

The cards are printed, our bags are packed, and we’re making the drive from Chicago to Missouri for the tournament. Tonight we’ll test our skills in the Closest-to-the-Pin tournament and probably enjoy a beer or seven before things get interesting.

This is the place to be, stay tuned throughout the weekend.

Cheers,
