I've always hated matchplay. I dont think it determines the best player in the field just the luckiest. All you have to do is look at Geoff Olgivy at last years World Match Play event. There were 10 times that his opponents had a chance to win standing over there putt and they missed. I'm sorry but thats just pure luck he didnt win the other guys lost and he had the good fortune to play them that round. As far as tiger not being any good at the matchplay hasnt he won the World matchplay like 2 or 3 times and has a record of 21 and 4 and there is the matter of the US amateur 3 times in a row. I will agree that his record is ordinary in the President and Ryder Cups (I personally dislike trying to make a solo event a team event and therefore dont quite get these exibitions).
