I don't know about anyone else in here but I really enjoy this format because the match can change so quickly. I watched it all afternoon and didn't fall asleep once!

What a great tournament. Great final round. Pulling for Day, but after those two shots from the rough, it was hard to see Victor lose. What a grinder he is.
I missed the finish but just watched the highlights, what a great finish!
Some really great golf played today. Those greens were monsters!! Yet, we saw these guys hit greens from fairway sand traps 180 yards out. We saw tremendous putting displays. Fowler and Els joked and acted as if they were regular Sunday partners at a local muni. Duibisson and Day showed great sportsmanship. Again, they complimented each other on great shots and great putts. There were laughs and smiles as it went to extra hole after extra hole. There was a half million dollar difference between first and second place. Yet, you didn't see egos and tempers and club tossing. You saw good golf by some gentlemen who played their hearts out.
...and a crazy Frenchman who has balls of frickin steel!
The wrap.
They did NOT give the Frenchman enough credit for those two up-n-downs. That was seriously sick shit! What's more amazing to me is that he just walked up to the ball and swung without a bunch of preparation... in fact, it was like zero preparation. Truly amazing.
Good sportsmanship between those two. I'm going to ask the controversial question. If you had Tiger or Jason Day duking it out down the stretch, who would you put your money on?
I've got me a new European player to cheer for now.
Tiger and Day duking it out? Or, Duibisson and Tiger?? Today??Good sportsmanship between those two. I'm going to ask the controversial question. If you had Tiger or Jason Day duking it out down the stretch, who would you put your money on?
I didn't put "my money" on either of the players in the final pairing. In fact, I didn't put my money on anyone in the consolation match. However, I saw what appeared to be some stellar play by the "new breed" of players who weren't at their pinnacle during the "intimidation era". Duibisson ( I know I'm probably not spelling it correctly) showed no fear as he took down big name after big name. Day has competed... and won... against the best players in golf. On this course? With the greens as tough as they were to putt? I would have taken either of these two over Tiger? 23 hole final? The ability to put one bad hole behind you in match play got Speith in trouble. I honestly feel the current emotional side of Tiger would have not treated him well in this venue.
As #1 in the World, one would have to put their "lunch money" on Tiger. Yet, I am totally impressed by the display witnessed over the weekend. I'm ready to see who brings what game to Augusta in April.
Same here. Even I stroke play I still have trouble betting against Tiger.
There goes Limp...bashing Tiger again so he can see all the responses supporting him.
BAD LIMP!
BAD LIMP!
