Congratulations to Suzann Petterson, winner of the 2011 Sybase Match Play Championship.

Pettersen won six matches over four days to win the trophy and a $375,000 champion’s purse at Hamilton Farm Golf Club. The field consisted of the top 64 female golfers in the world, including contenders such as Michelle Wie, Paula Creamer, and runner up Christie Kerr.

Sybase technology was showcased at the event through multiple promotional activities using Sybase 365 messaging services. Ads, posters and radio commercials run in the New York and New Jersey area offered free tickets to those who sent an SMS message to a special short code. Fans could also stay in touch with the latest tournament news by receiving SMS alerts for important tournament-related information including event results and special activities. And each day, fans could vote via SMS for the player they thought would win a high profile match.

Join us next year at the Sybase Match Play Championship, scheduled for May 17-20, 2012 at Hamilton Farm Golf Club in Gladstone, New Jersey.
