You start clicking away and weird things happen.

I have Jason Day winning it all. I have no idea how that happened.

I made my picks on my tablet; it took me over an hour to correctly make my picks, with the touch screen.

[RoverRick]

We had 7 people pick and we picked 7 different winners. How could all of you be so wrong?


Just watch now that I said that I will be 0 for 32 on day one.

[RoverRick]

Well, I started out 16 of 32 and am in last place but this is match play. I always start slow. Just like todays round, I started out with two double bogies, a par and a bogey and then parred the rest of the holes. I will just keep plugging away. If Tiger plays like he did today, stupidly, he will be going home tomorrow.

[JBones]

I've seen Tigers putting lately; I don't have him going far. I luckily have my final four intact. I scrolled through the first couple hundred places and I saw very few of us with Schwartzel picked to win. Fingers crossed.

23 points, but with my top two gone, I don't have much hope

I need Stanley, Rock, Mcilroy, Bradley, Bubba, Stricker, Mahan, and Woods to win tomorrow, but at least my final four are still in it. But I admit that I have some minor concerns about Mr. Woods performance. I have decided that since he has been playing well all but one day of the tournament, then it is a good thing and today was his bad day. Rock, Mcilroy, Sticker and Woods are my final four and no, I am not near as confident today as I was last night picking the brackets.

I entered this... only got 15 right in the 1st round, and both of my top 2 finalist picks lost in the 1st round. Only 21 points through two rounds. Next year I'll have to find a different strategy for picking match play winners. Flipping a coin would be a better strategy than whatever judgement I used this time.

[RoverRick]

Well, I did so poorly in this Golf Weekly asked me not to play next year.

Actually, they said they needed me to play again next year because someone had to be the worst.

They also wanted to know if I wanted to continue my GolfWeekly subscription because they were not sure I could read. They were sure that I thought that it was Golf Weakly. Because I certainly picked weakly.


I got 6 points today and at best I can have two players advance tomorrow. Of course, I will not know because I will be watching something else. I think I will watch the NFL channel. I can at least pick those game right. Well, those that I remember what the score was.


But I did beat two of their three pros.

[wdgolf]

I only missed first place by 81 points, so close!

That was a lot of fun though. Too bad Rory couldn't pull it off. Can't wait for something similar for the Ryder Cup.

[Jgolf]

I have to agree. Placing in the thousands isn't great, but picking and watching was a lot of fun. Oh, and winning the mgs bracket made the sour feeling go away rather quickly...



Thanks to all who participated! and remember, there's always next year!
