Brent Snyder of Troy Burne Golf Club and Derek Stendahl of Rush Creek GC will play for the title Friday in the Minnesota PGA Match Play Championship at Midland Hills Country Club.
Snyder edged Grant Shafranski of Hiawatha GC in 19 holes in the semifinals by winning the final four holes, going par-birdie-birdie-par.
"It was tough down the stretch and I was really pressed," Snyder said.
Stendahl reached the final by beating defending champion Jeff Sorenson of the Minikahda Club 4 and 2 in the quarterfinals and Paul Speltz of Brackett's Crossing CC 2 and 1 in the semifinals.
