I love match madness. I forgot there's one in May, too (I always focus on the one in February). Part of me now wishes I had a kid so I could get them to participate in the "color your player to victory!" campaign. Also, can anyone find the brackets? Predictions for these are, in part, based on who someone will face.

My pick is Stacy Lewis.

Found the brackets today, and WOW. With the men's Match Madness in February, I can usually find a dozen or so matches where I can see an upset happening. In the LPGA's opening round, there are only 4-5 I can see happening, and Paige MacKenzie is the only one I'm predicting (although I have her falling to Wie in the third round). Mi Hyun Kim might pull an upset, but that's more that I don't see M.J. Hur as a big threat in match play. Amanda Blumenherst is certainly a capable match player, but how well she does against Cristie Kerr is another story. I can also see Stacy Prammanasudh pulling an upset. If Natalie Gulbis were up against someone other than Suzann Pettersen, then maybe she'd be able to, but I don't see Pettersen losing the opening match. In any case, my brackets have Christina Kim winning over Tseng in the final round, with Wie and Miyazato finishing out the final four.

With it being so wet in New Jersey this week, you have to favor the long hitters. Love some of the first round matches: Blumenherst versus Kerr, Pettersen versus Gulbis, Munhoz versus Mozo and Wie versus Ricari.
