2016 World Golf Championships-Dell Match Play Discussion Thread

[nevets88]

Here's another bracket you can fill in in March. The big three are in the field although it's match play. Watson, DJ, Mickelson and Fowler too.

So excited this is happening in Austin. What little I've seen of the track so far has been impressive.  My son is going to have his party boat anchored near one of the holes on Sat, maybe Sun too (he couldn't care less about pro golf although he does think Joran and Rickie are pretty cool).  Should be a rip-roaring week, wish I could get down there for it.

As for a pick:  I'd be hard-pressed to go outside the top 10 because most of them are on form right now.

I took Rickie beating out Jason Day. My wild pick is Daniel Berger beating Phil to advance from his group.

I had to create an account and I made my picks and created a new private group for this (and I think the PGA tour fantasy stuff)

Group: TST lowest score wins
PW: iacas

all are welcome to join (and if the TST staff wants the name changed let me know)

The Day and Snedeker brackets seem to be the groups of death. Tough draws there.

Besides the majors and the players this is one of my favorite tournaments to watch.  I wish I wasn't going out of town this weekend so I'd have more time to watch it.

[Valleygolfer]

I filled out the damn bracket 5 different times and it still won't fricken save. How annoying. Guess I won't be winning the laptop... I had it all figured out too...

Battle between @pgatour and @europeantour Twitter accounts, who posts better videos. 

PGA Tour - this is lame. European Tour 1 : PGA Tour 0

1:1

Looks like a cool course.

Love the hazards right next to the greens.  

 

I have Louis winning it all.

[nevets88]

Fowler drove that 370 yard fifth too.

[pumaAttack]

Uh oh.

Day tweaked his back.  I hope its nothing too bad, both for him personally and for the game of golf.

[DeadMan]

Boy, Day really looked bad after hurting himself out there. 

This course looks really interesting from what I'm seeing so far. They're not showing a ton of overheads of the holes, which is dumb considering this is a new course. From my limited view, it looks like a course that would be a lot of fun to play.

[kpaulhus]

Man Phil is putting a beating on Fitzpatrick. Ill let Rickie pass on losing to Duffner considering he birdied the last 2 holes for the win.

[Gunther]

Only A player who lost so far is DJ, I think, but don't think Day is coming back out tomorrow.  

Really cool place, I've seen it from the lake but this coverage has given me a completely new perspective.  Agree on missing the overhead shots, maybe the blimp will make it to town over the weekend.  Sure would like to play it sometime.  Hope my kid somehow bumps into Michael Dell or McConaghey and befriends them.

[Scotsclaff]

Mcilroy left it late.

[ChrisP]

I think Day should back out of this thing or at least maybe concede today's match and then go for it tomorrow. Tiger will be the first to tell you not to mess around with back injuries.

This is the one reason I don't think Day is ever going to make it to the level Spieth and McIlroy will as their careers go on. I think he's a great talent when at the top of his game, but I just think injuries are going to be an issue his whole career. It has been so far. It's too bad.

Here are todays matches of players who both won yesterday:
Spieth/Dubuisson, ZJ/Kaymer, Day/Thongchai, Kisner/Bello - pretty amazing that there are only 4 matchups of yesterdays winners
