Not so, said Dixon. When they played a second-round match in the championship flight Friday, it ended a drought of about 30 years since they'd met in the 83-year-old tournament. They made up for lost time, going 22 holes before Dixon's par held up for victory on the fourth playoff hole. "Man, that was a battle," said Dixon. "Both of us played extremely well. "I think I finally wore him out." It wasn't the only epic battle in championship flights at Rogue Valley Country Club. Brandon Taylor, who won the Rogue Valley Stroke Play Championships on Sunday, needed 22 holes in the men's regular division to dispatch Will Street, who will be a senior at St. Mary's High this fall. In the same division, Joey Rossknecht ousted three-time champion Brooks Newsom, 4 and 3, and R.O. Gamez defeated Richard Owens, 1 up. Newsom and Owens later played three holes to determine medalist after tying for the honor in qualifying earlier in the week, and Newsom won. Defending champion Kevin Murphy and Jimmy White each advanced, setting up what should be a good match today. Murphy will be a senior at Rogue River High and has verbally committed to play for Oregon State. White is a former Oregon player who played professional mini tours for three years. Mike Barry, a former North Medford High state champion who is going after his fourth title, triumphed and today will play current Black Tornado golfer Daniel Schuler, who will be a junior. Men's junior-senior winners included Brad Bills and Jay Klemp, who meet today, and Tommy Smith. As in the men's regular, a playoff determined medalist, with Brooks Gard topping Bills. In men's senior, medalist Glen Clark and Kevin Klabunde, winner of three straight championships, advanced. Barb Pinkham had the highlight of the senior women's division, making a hole-in-one on the ninth hole during a 7-and-6 victory over Sue Hunter. Gail Jones, meanwhile, topped defending champion Judy Slater, 3 and 2, in pool play. Dixon is no stranger to extra holes. He twice went 21 holes against Jim Smith, in 2002 and '04, and both times lost the SOGC senior title in the process. He hadn't gone to a 22nd hole before. "I am tired, my friend," he said. "That is a long day. But we had a good time." In part because the play was very good. Dixon, 66, was 1 over par for the entire match, and the 75-year-old Maentz — the division medalist — was 2 over. "It was nip-and-tuck all the way," said Dixon, who got to 2 up through 12 holes. They halved the next two holes, with Maentz draining a 15-foot putt to tie on No. 14, and he made birdies on Nos. 16 and 17 to get all square. They each finished with pars on Nos. 17 and 18, then went back to the 17th to start the playoff. They parred the same two holes, then went back again, parring the 17th before Dixon emerged on No. 18. Both players hit nice drives on the 22nd hole, but Maentz pulled his approach shot left of the green and failed to get up and down. Dixon hit the green and made par. He may or may not have worn out Maentz, but Dixon wondered if he wore out himself. "You get tired after that many holes and that much concentration," said Dixon. "The mental part wears you down more than the physical part." He faces Bob Harrell today. Harrell has captured the senior division six times and is trying to tie all-time leader Ed Godden, who had seven. "Harrell was there the whole time," said Dixon. "He said, 'Keep playing. I get one of you tomorrow.'" While they haven't been paired much in the SOGC, Dixon and Maentz were partners for three days in the RVCC club championships, with Dixon taking first and Maentz second.
