Easily the best I have ever seen him play. The conditions were quote tough and he just kept striping them down the middle and hitting the greens. When you look at his scorecard, all you see is 2 & 3 pointers - no wipes or ones. Thats pretty hard to beat, and on a day like today - plain scary. Could someone tell him your not supposed to play matchplay like that, there is supposed to be a triple or two thrown in occasionly.
Neither of us putted very well, the greens were a bit furry and slow. We both played some very good golf, but he outclassed me on the mistakes,
which was mostly the last 5 holes when I lost the plot. Having not been able to convert a lot of good approaches and therefore not being able to get any holes back, creates more pressure to play even better, and today I just wasnt up to it. But thats really more of a testement to the way Gaz played today, he was relentless.
The match went like this - from Gazgolfs perspective.
