one of the best matches i have ever seen - too bad about camilo with the choke, he'll still get him tomorow with an eagle on the 15th

the final, however, will be difficult for whoever gets through as poults is on fire!

Truly marvelous sand save by Camillo indeed, with a wide open 9i yet (I think). But Poulter was remarkable today - in a different class almost. I'm turning into a Poults fan, whodathunk it. I guess I can handle the pants after all. He's a tough minded sort of competitor, have to admire that.

poulters always been nasty at match play. look what he did at the 08 ryder cup

Wow glad I did not come across this thread until I just saw the end of the day (after watching the last 4 holes or so) on the GC. I for one am getting up early tomorrow for the live coverage!

No. He sided with Poulter - I would have too - and that was about it. I'm not sure why he felt the need to bring it up later, especially since he won that hole yet lost the match. Badly.

But what actually happened on 7?

I don't know you missed it, but there was a pretty strong little fist pump after he hit that shot. Either way, as soon as he was out of the bunker, he was back to "Val Kilmer TopGun" mode

But what actually happened on 7?

poults' 2nd shot went over the green and stuck in some bush in the desert, poults then told the official that he wanted a free drop for line of sight as he said he would try and hit the ball through the bush and the shotlink tower was in his way. the official didnt think that if the tower wasnt there then poults would play the shot through this bush but poults said that as it was matchplay and sergio was already on the green and poults was already 4 up then he would try to go straight at the pin which was blocked by the tower. in the end poults was allowed to drop, but didnt in the end anyway as the drop was even further into the bushes/cactai, but all through this sergio was agreeing with poults!

As stated by some other people earlier on in the thread.... I'm starting to become a big fan of Ian Poulter as well. I never really payed attention to him until I saw him at the '08 Ryder Cup. He was very entertaining in the practice rounds, specificially when he stuck his approach on 12 and ran up on the green to putt with his foot :D Then, during the matches he was money. 4-1 record with the loss being a tough one against Chad Campbell and Stewart Cink. To his credit, Cink was red hot that morning.

Plus, he kinda put the flashy outfits and hair on the map a few years back :p

That was a disappointing end to the match. Villegas' errant drive, and then Casey's subpar approach ...

I'm looking forward to some good golf in the final.

    • I mean it seems like this is your issue, yeah? If you're already at or near a 1.5 smash factor depending on which launch monitor then you're going to have to increase your clubhead speed if you want to increase your ball speed. (Assuming your launch conditions/delivery are also near optimal which it sounds like they are) Are you actively doing any speed training programs like The Stack, Superspeed, etc?
    • Anyone can cherry pick a green shape to fit their narrative.  Now do the same thing but for this green that has an extremely sloped hill short, so good chance to roll back to the water, and mounds long that kick long shots OB. It's like a 175yd tee shot too.    Or this one. Where the approach shot is from 200+ yds with a severe slope towards the water and very tightly mowed sloped runoff behind the green.  
    • In a normal 30x20 green, a left/rigth 15 yard miss is going to be missing the green, probably in the bunker. A short/long 15 yards miss is still going to be in the green. Scoring average is always going to be lower if you have 100% GIR. Unbeatable.  I love this tool I created. Is an spreedsheets that calculate the scoring average of a dispersion in a certain green with the flag you want.   I set both dispersions in order to score as low as they can in this Par 3 from 150 yards, in this case avoiding going into the water.   Option 1: Scoring average: 2.96  GIR: 59%   Option 2: Scoring average: 2.79   GIR: 97%
    • He won the Zozo after that to "tie" Sam Snead. But… yeah.
    • 3 years ago I made a Driver fitting. Started with my on course speed and was almost 150 ball speed. I tested a lot of drivers and went after them with all I had reaching 160 ball speed.  In the last 3 years I improved my swing and now my on course speed is around 158 but no matter how much I force the issue I still cannot hit the ball faster than 160. Not even when I hit the ball perfectly in the middle and gave it all I have, the numbers are never more than 160.. 161. Club speed also is stuck on the same number. On the other hand for every other club in the bag I also started hitting it farther with the new swing on course but I'm able to gain 6..7 miles of ball speed if I go after them. As an example, I'm around 121 ball speed with my 6 iron but I can muscle it to 128 without much trouble and also club speed jumps 4..5 miles.  Any ideas?
