The Semi‑Finals of the 2026 Men’s 2 Ball Knockout delivered high‑quality golf, decisive performances, and set the stage for a thrilling championship showdown.
As the first Honour Board event of the year, the stakes are even higher, with history on the line for all four finalists.

Semi‑Final Results

In the first Semi‑Final, Hayden Doria & James Robertson continued their impressive tournament run with a dominant 6 & 5 victory over Daine Ellicott, who had remarkably played solo through the knockout stages.

The second Semi‑Final saw David Bourke & Steven Ring secure their place in the championship match with a strong win over Mark Minho & Robin Jeon.

Honour Board Significance

This final presents potential milestones for all involved:

• For Hayden Doria, James Robertson, and David Bourke, a win would mark their first time appearing on an Honour Board.
• For Steven Ring, victory would etch his name onto an Honour Board for the seventh time—but notably, it would be his first appearance since 1989.

With these achievements within reach, the final carries added meaning beyond the trophy alone.

Final Match‑Up

The championship will be contested between:

• Hayden Doria & James Robertson – #8 seed
• David Bourke & Steven Ring – #7 seed

Both teams enter the final in strong form, having built momentum throughout the tournament, setting the stage for what promises to be a memorable and tightly contested finish
