Dodie Fitzsimmons defeated husband (and defending champion) Mike Fitzsimmons 3&2 at Meridian Valley Country Club to win the 2006 TBI Match Play Championship. 
Dodie used impeccable driving and a solid short game to capture the title. Perfect tee shots on the first two holes gave her a 2-up lead. She carried this lead into the back nine. 
After a par at #11, Mike had fought back to 1-down, and was thinking he had a chance. Dodie won #13 to go back to 2-up, but found a greenside bunker on #14 with Mike on the green and 15 feet from a par. In the shot of the match, Dodie blasted out of the bunker to within a foot to save bogie, and watched as Mike three putted to give her a 3-up lead. 
Mike won #15. On 16, Mike found the greenside bunker, and couldn’t duplicate Dodie’s saving sand shot. Dodie won the hole and the match. 
Mick Tovey and John Cotton  tied for 3^rd place. Mike eliminated Mick and a balky putter at Druids Glen with a 1-up victory.  Dodie defeated John Cotton at Maplewood Golf Course with a 4&2 victory.
Other notable matches included Dodie defeating Bert in the quaterfinals at Druids Glen with another solid display of chipping and putting. John Cotton was victorious over Mike Anderson 4&3 at West Seattle Golf Course. Bert Dewell edged Steve Onustack 1-up at Jefferson GC.
Congratulations to Dodie Fitzsimmons, 2006 TBI Match Play Champion.
