Match Play Update

Here is a quick update as to what has happened so far in the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship played somewhere where it is 80 degrees warmer than where i am at. We will break it down by group:

Bobby Jones Bracket

• Tiger had the match of the tourney in the first round against JB Holmes where he was down 3 with 5 holes to play and won. Rumor is that he was tanking the match because he didn't want to face #2 seed Rory Sabbatini since he thinks Tiger is beatable. Once he saw that Rory lost, he turned on the Tiger jets...that doesn't even make sense, Tiger Jets?
• Speaking of Rory, if he thinks #1 Tiger is "beatable", then he must think that 15th seed Bradley Dredge is not beatable as Dredge smoked him 4&3. I think Rory need to re-think he stance and just say "Rory Sabbatini is very beatable, if Bradley Dredge can do it, any local hacker can, trust me"
• Tiger's next match will feature Aaron Baddeley who has had it pretty easy so far beating a guy just praying for his senior tour rights to start in Mark Calcavecchia and David Toms, who was so scared to play Baddeley that he withdrew. My guess is Toms withdrew because he saw that commercial with "Bads" and the hot chicks and assumed they would be with him. And we all know that Toms tends to play with a full shaft that isn't very impressive.

Ben Hogan Bracket

• #16 seed Jonathan Byrd has just been smoking the competition beating #1 seed Ernie Els 6&5 and #9 seed Andres Romero 6&4, well that is if you can call Els and Romero competition.
• Supposedly Boo Weekley was not versed in the Match Play etiquette that you concede short putts. Either that or he knew the rule, but just wanted to see Sergio Garcia cry. I really hope it is the latter. Next up for Boo is Woody Austin so this will be the Boo-Woody match up which is a chant heard at many Martha Burk feminist rallies and at anti woodpecker rallies.
• How the hell did someone named Toru Taniguchi get a 7 seed? The people who picked the seeds must have been hungry.

Gary Player Bracket

• Boobs Mickelson lost in the second round to Stuart Appleby, which is understandable since Stuart only has apples whereas Phil has watermelons to breasts.
• That is all i have for this bracket pretty much. Yeah its that lame.

Sam Snead Bracket

• Steve Stricker is the only other #1 seed left as he beat Daniel Chopra and Hunter Mahan both in 20 holes. I think he should stick with this strategy with his next round match as he faces Angel Cabrera and if it goes to extra holes i am pretty sure Cabrera will be disqualified when he runs over to the store to pick up more smokes
• Monty is back and his match play legend grows as he has defeated two higher seeds already. Even better it has been two Americans and he faces another in Stewart Cink in the next round. This must be satisfying for Monty since the US crowds usually heckle him and the fact that he can't beat any of them during a normal PGA tourney.

Do you realize that i could have taken a final four of Bradley Dredge, Toru Taniguchi, Peter Hanson, and Anders Hansen and got 1,000,000-to-1 odds. It would have been win-win if it happened as I would have had a million dollars and there would have been several TV executives from the network covering the event jump out of the 30th floor windows. In reality, there is still a possible (15) Montgomerie, (15) Pampling, (16) Byrd, & (7) Casey final four, that would be awesome.
