RushCanuck Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Round 1 of WGC Match Play almost done... already some big names are eliminated. Bye bye to Ernie Els, Dustin Johnson, Keegan Bradley, and Jason Dufner, amongst others. The top 2 seeds, Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods, are also eliminated. I hope Rory didn't make a mistake switching his clubs, but so far this year, he's not looking that good. As for Woods, he displayed some poor sportsmanship slamming his club down whenever he hit a bad shot. It was nice to see Charles Howell win the match.

laughedatbytime Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 ^^^^ We could use some of that our way! Skiing is thin. Although I did manage to get some golf in instead. 3 over :o .

RushCanuck Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 In an all USA final, with each player wearing a balaclava instead of the traditional golf cap, Matt Kuchar out-golfed Hunter Mahan in the final of the WGC Accenture match play. That's 1.5 million into Kuchar's bank account - no wonder he was smiling.Every 2013 PGA tournament thus far has been won by an American golfer. Now, it's on to Florida for the Honda Classic.

As for Rory, I remember when Tiger had problems with his gear. Rory will adjust. Kudos to Kuchar for the win! I wonder how many more years they'll continue with this format. Not much fun, really.

RushCanuck Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Fans of Tiger Woods will be happy with his win at the WGC-Cadillac at Doral. He should give Steve Stricker a reward for the putting lesson Steve gave him on Wednesday as that certainly was a big factor in the win. The Blue Monster course will now undergo renovations, with Donald Trump involved with the redesign financing.It was nice to see Rory shoot 65 today. He's been in my dog house since loosing the first round of the match play 2 tournaments ago. Then he foolishly quit mid round last week at the Honda. He had to man up and admit he made a mistake. Hopefully he's fixed his issues and he's going to contend (and win) at the Masters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He keeps that flatstick going and he'll be tough to beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gets that thing going and he's the winning machine of old. Another topic: Who at Nike thought the "Winning takes care of everything" campaign was a good idea?

Horrible idea. :boo hiss: It's basically a lie - "All you have to do is win, and your personal faults/problems won't matter any more, and may just magically disappear!" Canon made a similar mistake years ago, when they did the "Image is everything" ad campaign (featuring the spoiled brat Andre Agassi). Both ad campaigns imply that public success is more important than personal success or character. NOT good.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RushCanuck Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Hey golf fans - this week (April 11 - 14) , it's the first major of 2013 - The Masters. I'm cheering for a first time major winner - Steve Stricker or Matt Kuchar would be a good story. My sentimental favorite choice is Phil Mickelson. We'll see who wears the green jacket on Sunday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
