Accenture match play

[Richd]

Now that the brackets have been announced what are you looking forward to?

I'm really looking forward to the potential Fowler/Mickelson 2nd round match up

Re: Accenture match play

o'hair v mahan in the first round.

DJ vs bubba in the 2nd round of the snead bracket.

matteo vs ishikawa (potentially) in the 2nd round; would require both of those guys to upset tho.

Re: Accenture match play

Westwood vs. Stenson

Tank vs. Goose

Harrington vs. Ogilvy

McIlroy vs. Byrd

Tiger vs. Bjorn

Poulter has a series of video via Twitter documenting his private-jet flight (together with Stenson and GMAC) to Tucson tonight. A window into how these millionaire pro golfers travel.

DJ vs. Bubba...Would love to follow that!

Re: Accenture match play

Seems to be an assumption here that Bubba will beat Bill Haas - I don't think so!

All Butch Harmon's decisples

6 of his final 8, and all 4 of the final 4 are Americans.

Last year, only 1 American made it into the final 8 (Cink).

I just don't think match play is really their strength....

I've submitted my stable of 10 to a local pool:

Lee Westwood
Charl Swartzel
Rory McIlroy
Hunter Mahan
Tim Clark
Bubba Watson
Thomas Bjorn
Graeme McDowell
Louis Oosthuizen
Rickie Fowler

Major winners and contenders, some long shots and top ranked, some US and some euros, and one guy who wears too much orange. I picked Bjorn to beat Tiger in the first round - partly because Tiger is having such an off year again (and he doesn't take non-majors seriously), and partly because the only way to win the pool is to have a long shot pull off some surprise wins. Go Bjorn!!

Re: Accenture match play

If I was there, I'd probably follow the mechanic around for the better part of Wednesday. I like his scotchy scotch scotch style.

A McIlroy/Jimenez match would definitely warrant some popcorn.

The spirits tell me Woods is out on Thursday.

/oops did I say that?
