The match play portion of the event began with Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo claiming the No. 1 seed. Romo made it past the first round before falling in the quarterfinal. Steve Johnson, who defeated Romo, eventually to Schultz, who was on a destined mission for victory. Hearden, who started as the No. 23 seed on the opposite side of the bracket, rolled through match play and into the finals before falling to 24th-seeded Schultz.
