How many Aussies ?

[Jarro]

Who's got Tiger first up ?

[TheTrueReview]

Who's got Tiger first up ?

Wish it was Brendan Jones. Revenge would be sweet. ;)

[Dcanto]

Brendan Jones is first up against Phil in the Ben Hogan division. It would be nice to see him cause an upset.

[LowTee]

Let's hope the Aussie Contingent play great and one of them lifts the trophy

[virge666]

Thomas Bjorn (Sam Snead division)

http://i.cdn.turner.com/pgatour/docs/accenture-match-play.pdf

Tiger has hit a player in form . . .

Could be a good match.

[mike]

We should have a tipping comp for this.

[fredstar]

On Fox at all?

[Tongueboy]

on replay i'd reckon with onehd taking the live feed

[Eag's]

Golf in HD got to love it :)

[MegaWatty]

It is on Foxtel every week.

If you are a HD subscriber that is.

[chappy1970]

Tim Clark is in the field, wonder if he will withdraw again

[Marto65]

He's playing Villegas ... who will probably disqualify himself anyway ...

The Snead Draw looks awesome ...

[Dcanto]

I agree. Hopefully it will be an interesting match, although Tiger has been knocked out early in events like this before.

Will his new swing stand up to the pressure?

Geoff Ogilvy vs. Padraig Harrington should be another good match to watch.

As will DJ V Mark Wilson and Bubba V Bill Haas.

[kpac]

Geoff will smash the pod!!

[Greeny]

This is my favourite event of the year but can't help but think it's a bit of a fizzer for at least 32 players! One round and you're gone!
Could a format re-jig a bit like the Surf Coast Knockout be the way to go? Maybe two rounds of stroke to determine the final 32? Just a thought.

[gazgolf1]

Olgilvy goes good in this.

[Jarro]

This might be the year of the Goose 8)

[Marto65]

I'll take Ian Poulter ...

[chappy1970]

Tim Clark is in the field, wonder if he will withdraw again

And my prediction comes true, to be replaced by JB Homes

[MegaWatty]

What is going on with TC?

[Captain Nemo]

Looks like some nice multis here!
1st round i like Quiros into Kaymer.

[simmsy]

I'm not sure Kaymer would be too keen on that.

[Dcanto]

What is going on with TC?

Maybe he pulled a heart muscle? :)

[Dcanto]

Luke Donald has given Charlie Hoffman a bit of a touch up - 6 and 5.

Tiger is 1 down through 3 against Bjorn.

[Marto65]

Poulter .... GOOONNEEE !!!

[Goldy]

Tiger -GORN.

[chappy1970]

I am competing in the GOLFWEEK Matchplay challenge. You had to pick your winners for the whole draw prior to the start of the tourney.

I have 19 winners from the 32 matches, one outstanding at the moment which is the Z Johnson v J Rose match.

Winners so far
Westwood, Watney, Schwartzel, Donald, Kaymer, Karlsson, Mahan, McIIroy, Palmer, Jimenez, Phat Phil, Fowler, Kuchar, McDowell, Bjorn, Ogilvy, Watson, Day and Homes.

I tipped Ogilvy to win it and have 28 putts



Scoring per winning pick
Round Points
Rd 1 1
Rd 2 2
Rd 3 4
Rd 4 16
Winner 64

Tie Breaker = amount of putts the winner had

[Grunt]

Jason Day and Geoff Ogilvy progress atf WGC Match Play Championships, Tiger Woods beaten (http://www.foxsports.com.au/golf/jason-day-and-geoff-ogilvy-progress-to-second-round-of-wgc-matchplay-championships-tiger-woods-beaten/story-e6frf3oc-1226011271544)

Love Day's comments about not giving gimmes and the whole process he did for the match.

[AdamsPop]

That's what we want to see - a bit of ^&%^$%# mongrel!

[Dcanto]

In taking Paul Casey to 19 hopefully holes Richard Green has softened him up a bit for Day.

[chappy1970]

I have had a sly multi on Rd 2 and when i got back to the office I realised that I f$%ked one of the selections up.
Have taken McDowell into JB Holes, into Kaymer, into Mahan and meant to take into Kuchar but made a mistake and have Van Pelt. Equated to 19/1 approx.

Will see how it goes.

[simmsy]

could be happy days tomorrow chappy!

[virge666]

How cranky did Poulter look !

Dead set steaming !

[3oneday]

How did Ricky Fowler make this field ? Mind you, flogged Mickelson !

Good win to Day or Casey too, could be an all Aussie affair to decide the Snead winner !.

[simmsy]

Uummmm... He is in the top 66? 2 of top 64 pulled out.

[3oneday]

Uummmm... He is in the top 66? 2 of top 64 pulled out.

Really, after one season on the PGA Tour he is number 66 in the world ? That's hard to fathom.

[MegaWatty]

Manessero. Interesting to see where he gets to.

[MegaWatty]

Really, after one season on the PGA Tour he is number 66 in the world ? That's hard to fathom.

Number 33.

[3oneday]

And Day is number 40 ? Didn't Day win last year ?

Sounds flawed, Fowler should be penalised out of the top 100 for dress sense alone.

Showing your age now mate ;)

[3oneday]

I should add, and take off another 50 spots for his haircut.


Damned young whipper snappers !


:lol:

[kpac]

rubbish - he looks like a right twat. Flat brim hat's should be on the list of non-conforming golf equipment. That other git wore a tie the other day.... fkn please. They'll be on their skateboard on the cart paths before too long.

[virge666]

If anyone has the video of Fowlers approach to the Par 5 to win - listen to Peter Jacobsen get all excited and say "Holy Shit" on live TV.

Outstanding...

[Lucasto23]

Shit compared to some of the crap clothing i see at my course on a weekend, he's more than expectable in that flat hat and he's exciting to watch. The other one, cant agree more as the little i know about him tell's me his a twat.

[BayBum]

Ryan Moore ?

[chappy1970]

I have had a sly multi on Rd 2 and when i got back to the office I realised that I f$%ked one of the selections up.

Don't I feel like a d!ckhead, if I had put Kuchar in like I intended to, I would have got the chocolates. Damn well look at the screen next time idiot.

I'm going to have another lash today for the 3rd round matches

[3oneday]

Just dug some more, Fowler played 34 events last year for 3.4 mill in prizemoney, Day played 25 for 2.9 mill. Villegas played 29 for 3.2 mill and is ranked 43 !

What else has this kid done to deserve a no 33 world ranking ?

[Iain]

2010 - 20 of 28 cuts, 7 top 10's and 10 top 25's.

Where should he be? What should the 33 ranked player have achieved?

[3oneday]

It says he played 34 events ? what happened in the other 6 ?

My only point is how can someone who has played for a year be deserving of such a high ranking ? Why is Villegas lower ? didn't he win 3 times the previous year ?

Then again, based on your numbers Tiger should be 150 or so :lol:

[Hux]

2010 - 20 of 28 cuts, 7 top 10's and 10 top 25's.

Where should he be? What should the 33 ranked player have achieved?

71% of cuts is pretty reasonable...not a young Tiger but not exactly a cellar dweller.
Top 10 finish on 35% of the cuts made makes him pretty good.

However, Is he that much better than Jason Day or other young players? IMHO No
Eg:

Day: 24 played
Cuts made: 18 (75%)
Top 10's: 5 (first & second)
Top 25's: 11

Rory:

82% cuts made
Top 10's: 8
Top 25: 13

So he's good but hasn't coverted top 10's to wins unlike at least two of his peer's.

Personally I like his play and although his appearance is grating to me as an old fart he speaks well and his attitude seems pretty reasonable as well....far from a big head which is appearance seems to give.

He is better than run of the mill for sure.

[mike]

I like the players that act or dress differently. Nice change from the other robots.

[Shadesy]

World Rankings is also based on the Strength of the field. The Makoyoba Classic will not have as many ranking points as the Matchplay Champioship.

So if Fowler finished Top 10 in Strong Fields and in WGC/MAJORS this is worth a lot more than a top 10 or even top 5 is the Children Miracle Classic.

So you cannot look at Stats alone (ie. Cuts made etc.) but the competition he was up against.

[Iain]

It says he played 34 events ? what happened in the other 6 ?

Not sure, but his pgatour.com profile page lists 28 events played in 2010?

[3oneday]

Weird, I thought the money list said 34. No biggy, I guess because he doesn't have to "defend" points first year players probably have more chance to jump up quicker ?

[Moe Norman]

flat brimmed caps are great. It's like a massive sign saying "I'm a dickhead" so you don't even need to talk to them to find out, great time savers.

good point

[Tongueboy]

good to see i am not the only old grumpy prick here! don't mind Ryan Moore though.

[AlexMc]

Bubba Watson hasn't been behind at any point this week. He's won the first hole all 3 days.

TAB Sportsbet still has him at $16 to win...

[simmsy]

Mahan's Ryder cup short game showed up again today. I think it's the hat that causes him to chunk it.

[Hux]

good point

You two need to get out some more. Come down to Woodridge and anyone wearing enclosed footwear is considered to be on the cutting edge of fashion!

Actually I hope we are all here on Ozgolf when your kids are teenagers and turning up in the latest fashion...or even better their boyfriend/girlfriend turn up looking like the latest cover shoot for "Pimple Faced Teenager".

MODS Can we Sticky this for 14years please.


:-)

[MegaWatty]

Look at The Mechanic go!

I hear this rubbish all the time, even from my uncle who lets my cousin dress like a douche.

Well you bought him the douche bag clothes!

[goughy]

Dare i say it, could we see an '8 and 7, handshakes at 11' today? Where's that banner???

[BrettM]

Ricky Fowler looks like a walking crayon.

[Jarro]

New world #1 now too 'eh ?

If Donald wins this event tomorrow he'll knock Woods off the #3 spot too 8)

[Eag's]

Kaymer has to win the event to go to # 1 I think?

[mike]

I heard on the radio today he's already there.

[mike]

Should the German win his semifinal match, he not only will move into Sunday’s final, he’ll also assure himself of overtaking Lee Westwood at the top. Kaymer is currently No. 2 but only needs to reach the finals (not win it) to become No. 1.

Fair enough.

[Toolish]

I had recorded this and finally got to watching it. How ****ing slow is J B Holmes. Took about 45 minutes to play the last 2 holes with Bubba and it was not Bubba taking time.

Good to see a mizzy man win overall!

[TheTrueReview]

[QUOTE=Toolish;596231] ... How ****ing slow is J B Holmes. ... /QUOTE]

I used to be a fan of Holmes but now his slow play makes him excruciating to watch.
