Accenture Match Play, 2008, How’d We Do?
I beat the experts! 🙂
I was listening to the match play on XM for part of the afternoon and was surprised, first, that Tiger was three holes down with five to play, and then surprised, again, when he played the final five in five under to win 1 up.
Wow!
I wasn’t really surprised that Els got beat (given his record at this event), but to take a 6&5 pounding, well, that’s gotta hurt.
Update: Jason Sobel did a complete bracket, so I’ve updated his picks, below.
