The good thing for Spieth is he played better this week compared to the way he's been playing and he won't be drained going into Augusta. If he had to play 36 today, 36 tomorrow, 4 rounds at Houston next week and then travel over to Augusta, that would have been tough sledding. He went 3-1 which is pretty good and can rest a little bit before this big two tourney stretch for him.

The Day McIlroy match was the final, IMO.   That was great golf to watch and a true battle.  I thought Rory had the better game but just couldn't make enough birdie putts.  Day hung around and fi

That's a savvy idea, but does it mess with fan involvement in filling out brackets? It could also be an indication of the value of short-game skills in match play when the ball-striking is roug

I really have to start betting on the opposite of anything @Gunther says. I'd have made a fortune by now. Quick, who do you like to win the NCAA men's basketball tournament? :-)

This has been a great event to watch and it's one of those courses which I think would be rubbish for any tour event other than the match play. Loving both semi finals for totally different reasons and it should be a really good day's viewing. Nice to see Rafa finally start putting together a few good tournaments with his short game holding up as well - his A game is definitely top 20 worthy.

Currently focusing on: Key 4 - shorter backswing.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Anyone else got tickets to the Cabrera-Bello gunshow? Damn!

Watching Day and Rory play is a lot of fun. They're both so damn good.

Yeah, that match was really entertaining. I feel like Rory doesn't have his A game right now, but he still put up a great fight against Jason, who probably does have his A game. Rory had his chances to win this, but couldn't capitalize. Great golf.

Feel like Rory, Jason and Jordan are rounding into or close to A-form at the right time...just in time for the Masters. Also feel like a lot of the other top players are in good form, like Louis, Adam, Bubba, Dustin, Rickie, Charl, Phil and others just at the right moment. This could be a very entertaining Masters this year.

I thought no cameras allowed during tournament play?

If Jordan wins next week (I think he's playing there, right?), the hype machine is going to go into overdrive for the Masters. It's going to be a fun week, yeah.

Also, the pace of play on these matches is horrible. There are 4 people out on the course, and it's been so slow. Rory and Jason's match took 4 hours. Jason and Louis are on the 11th hole and they've been playing for 2:15. In a twosome, even in a competitive match, I'd expect to get around in 3 hours. It's really too bad that people will watch this and assume it's okay for a recreational player.

Jason is looking good here. 3 up and Louis hits it in the drink.

It's amazing how many putts Jason Day makes when he needs them.  I almost wish I would have picked him in the Masters this year.  I think I said this last week but man is he fun to watch when.

Damn, I love match play. Wish we got more of it. 

Was pulling for Rory in the semis and Louis in the final. I like Jason Day and am happy to see him regain #1. But Rory is my guy, and how can anyone root against Louis? Just seems like such a good dude. 

Great Sunday, lazing around the house and watching golf. Did the Family dinner on Saturday, so Sunday was all about WGC. 

Yours in earnest, Jason.

You can really fly thru the matches with the dvr... I watched the finals in less than 2 hours.

Day has to be the big favorite now going into Augusta. I think at the top of their games, Day is slightly better than Spieth and maybe on par with McIlroy. Of course, the advantage Spieth has over both of them is he tends to be more consistent. My worry with McIlroy at Augusta continues to be his putting. Not sure he can get it done with the flatstick whereas Day is putting out of his mind right now and the rest of his game is pretty stellar as well. And Day has a good track record there. The question for Day is health. Always has been, always will be.
