Brian Mackey is the 2021 Assistant Match Play Champion after defeating Brian Varsey in the 18-hole Championship Match 4&3. Entering the Championship, Mackey trailed Danny Harcourt, Assistant Golf Professional at Fiddler's Elbow, by 50 points. After his win, Mackey leads the Assistant Player of the Year Race by 17 points with 2 Assitant Events remaining. 
"I just tried to do a lot of positive self talk and stay in each shot out there today. It was a pretty long day but I'm happy how I gutted it out throughout the day. I had a couple matches that I went down early but I'm really happy with how I putted today because that was the really difference today".

This is Mackey's third time winning the Assitant Match Play Championship (2017, 2018, 2021). With this win, Mackey puts himself in contention to win the Assistant Player of the Year Race for the second year in a row. Congratulations to the 2021 Assistant Match Play Champion, Brian Mackey!
