I printed off my bracket today, the Accenture Match Play Championship has become one of my favorite events. Outside of the 4 Majors and The Players, this as good as we get. Hopefully we'll get a couple of good big name matches come this weekend, if not, I'll still be glued to the tube.

Anyone got some picks!?!?

Jones
TW has a great looking chance to breeze through his bracket into the final four. His #2 seed is Rory, a guy Tiger OWNS, the 3 seed, Choi might make a little noise. A nice 2nd round Pres Cup rematch with TW and Mike Weir possibly, that could be fun. My pick out of the Jones bracket is Tiger, but not without a tough fight from.....Paul Casey.

Player
Mickelson's the top draw but probably not the greatest match play guy in the world. With Justin Rose the #2 and Vijay #3, that is a pretty salty bracket. I'm going with the USA rock star Scott Verplank out of the Player.

Hogan
Ernie's playing and he's the 1 seed, tough company with Adam Scott (2) and Sergio (3). Defending champ is in this bracket at 4, this could possibly be the hardest of the 4 regions. I'll go with Henrik Stenson to represent SWE back in the final four again this year.

Snead
Former Match Play champ Steve Stricker is the 1 here, with Furyk 2, Paddy (3) and Angel (4) all fall and Luke Donald will come out of the Snead.

Tiger vs. Stenson
Verplank vs. Donald

Tiger will dispose of Henrik by hole 14 or 15 and Donald will hang on in extra holes against the gritty match play superstar Verplank.

Consolation match will have Verplank and Stenson in a dog fight, eventually Stenson will win the last 2 holes to take a narrow victory.

Tiger Woods vs. Luke Donald

2008 Accenture Match Play Champion (how can you not?).......Tiger Woods.

Now.....who you got?

I knew someone would say that, but you tell me who else you'd pick? I can sure sound like an idiot and say.....JERRY KELLY, my champ. But do you really think?

So I'm out on a limb, who you taking?
"You lick the lollipop of mediocrity once and you'll suck forever."

I will give you two names. First I will give you the answer to the argument of who is the better player when Sergio meets Adam Scott and beats him and goes on to get to the final. He will lose to the Match play champion who should not see any trouble and has a clear road to the final especially if Mickelson gets upset early. And the winner is Vijay Singh.

I'll pick some upsets. Chopra over Stricker, Villegas over Choi, Calc over Badds, Weekley over Kaymer.

Justin Rose to win it.

    • 26 Nov 24 -  It was not a record breaking round by any means, but rather a simple walking of the back nine today playing TBWB (two ball-worse ball) where the challenge is to play the worse of the two shots played - could be an errant drive from the woods, a tree knocked ball that is 100 yds farther back down the fairway, a nGIR ball as opposed to a GIR….the goal today was to stay no worse than bogie thru nine.  Managed to achieve that goal - bogied 7 holes with one dbl and one par to counter the dbl.  It’s about staying focused and not letting a bad shot or lie derail, but rather be an opportunity. 
    • Day 208 (26 Nov 24)- Opted to walk 9 today (was the back nine as they had a huge group going off the front) but instead of it being persimmons and blades, I had the regular gamers but made it a TBWB (two ball-worst ball) round.  This really challenges on several fronts - ball striking to be as consistent as possible, course management from non-optimal lies and keeping your head in it as it can be depressing to nail a shot on line-on target and the second rattles the trees right and it’s over 50 yards back and that’s the one you have to play.  The goal was to be no worse than bogie overall (+9).  Finished the round exactly on the number with some solid recoveries, no penalty strokes and only one 3-putt.
