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.

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


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

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.

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.

Bobby Jones


No. 16 Ernie Els vs. No. 9 Peter Hanson

No. 13 Kyle Stanley vs. No. 5 Brandt Snedeker.

No. 15 Robert Rock vs. No. 10 Mark Wilson

No. 3 Dustin Johnson vs. No. 11 Francesco Molinari


Gary Player


No. 1 Rory McIlroy vs. No. 9 Anders Hansen

No. 13 Miguel Angel Jimenez vs. No. 5 Keegan Bradley

No. 2 J. Day vs. No. 10 John Senden

No. 3 Charl Schwartzel vs No. 11 Sang-Moon Bae


Ben Hogan


No. 1 Martin Kaymer vs. No. 8 David Toms

No. 4 Matt Kuchar vs. No. 5 Bubba Watson

No. 2 Steve Stricker vs. No. 7 Louis Oosthuizen

No. 14 Y.E. Yang vs. No. 6 Hunter Mahan


Sam Snead



No. 1 Lee Westwood vs. No. 8 Robert Karlsson

No. 4 Nick Watney vs. No. 5 Tiger Woods

No. 15 Matteo Manassero vs. No. 10 Martin Laird

No. 14 Ryo Ishikawa vs. No. 11 Paul Lawrie



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.

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

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.

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.

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!
