Marking the 16th year of competition, the Hannon Cup Matches will take place September 16-18 at the Spanish Oaks Golf Club. These matches pair leading Austin amateur golfers against local golf professionals in a Ryder Cup Match Play format. The amateurs hold a slight lead in the series with the current score of eight wins versus seven for the professionals. The professionals won the 2011 matches.
