Most of the big names are gone after two days and tiger is gone after
3. The final event matches two foreigners; that Swenson nobody and
the boring Ogelthorpe dood. What are the idiots at accenture trying
to prove? There are lots of ways to spice up an event without going
to this stupid match play format that always leads to nobodies
"battling" it out.
PS - match play works fine in the RC since even if you lose you are
not eliminated.

You and the fat guy from the 19th hole on TGC should get a room, maybe
a tent.
Golf is not all about Tiger.

If the event is the *World* Match Play, how can there be "foreigners"?
Seven of the Top 10 and fourteen of the Top 20 in the World Golf
Rankings are now non-US players. Get over it.

It's played in america and that's what matters, you nitwit. Like the World
Series in baseball. When was the last time a swedish team played in that?

A "gimme" can best be defined as an agreement between
two golfers neither of whom can putt very well.

Yeah, that "Swenson nobody" (sic). Henrik Stenson ... number 8 in the
world before last week, now in the top 5. Geoff Ogilvy ... number 11
last week, now in the top 10. Geez ... sour grapes just 'cause Tiger
didn't win 8^). Sounds like a couple of the better players came out on
top to me.
Match play has it's faults, but I like the change of pace ... and the
fact that it's the top 64 players in the world. But FWIW, Bobby Jones
never liked 18 hole matches ... thought they were too short to really
show the best player.

There is no other way to do it, unless you want to limit the field
to the top 8 in the world. Who has the stamina to play 216 holes of
golf in five days?

Screw you. If Tigger isn't good enough to make it to the final, that's HIS
fucking problem.

The reason it works in the RC is because all the players are the top
names. In this tourney, you're always gonna get Jeff Maggert vs.
Andrew Magee.
