A week from Sunday the MGM Tour Match Play Invitational kicks off the MGM Tour’s 2016 major championship schedule. Nik Freitas, in his young career, has finished no worse than 5th in majors and enters Match Play as defending champion. Only once (Chris Moawad, 2008) has the reigning Tour champion won the Match Play Invitational. 2015 Tour Champion Ed Quiroz, currently the Tour’s #1 golfer, aims to be the 2nd golfer to do so.
