Looking forward to this a lot. Love the Match Play format, not sure if that poule system will be an improvement but the mano a mano matches will be great anyway.

Luke Donald will skip it to attend his brothers wedding, so Jimenez will take his spot. Francesco Molinari will take the injured Tim Clark's position.

So Ilonen got in. One to watch I guess, he won last's years Volvo World Matchplay after beating Luiten in the semi final, and Stenson in the final.

Top 64 in the Official World Golf Rankings qualify.  He's seeded #115, so he's not in the OWGR top 64.

Maybe it's me and I've missed something extraordinary but how does Anirban Lahiri get to 34 in the world? Something must be screwy with the OWGR.

[url=http://www.worldgolfchampionships.com/cadillac-match-play/news/2015/04/27/cadillac-match-play-group-draw.html]The groups have been drawn.[/url] I don't see any obvious groups of death, but McIlroy, Watson, Walker, and Dustin Johnson will all have tough tasks to get out of their groups unscathed. Also worth pointing out: the Harding Park course is routed this week like it was during the Presidents Cup in 2009, with the normal finishing stretch of holes along Lake Merced playing as holes 10 through 14.

In my UnderArmour Links stand bag...

Driver: '07 Burner 9.5° (stiff graphite shaft)

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting.
