David King from Southerness is this year's South Matchplay Champion after defeating Michael Grunwell (Powfoot) in a closely contested final. David won the last four holes to turn defeat into victory. It was hard on Michael who appeared to be in control but David, who ousted the strokeplay champion Kyle McClung on route to the final,it was a fitting finale to a hard weekend. Consolation for Grunwell is that he is well positioned to retain the Order of Merit.
