World MatchPlay Poll

would you rather be forced on the Bataan Death March
or follow those ' bundles of joy' Tom Lehman and DL3 for 36 holes?

Why's everyone ragging on the WGC? I like it myself.

Well to say that neither is very charismatic is an understatement , but I'd still go with the golf... 36 holes did you say ? I'll still stick with the golf.

Whatever you think of them, both have worked hard to get where they are. That's in the tournament and their careers.

What's this?
Woods & Mickelson gone an so has the Tournament?
I'd much rather watch two guys throwing birdie chances at each other than two names not at there best.
Woods is struggling at the moment but is still competing so look out world when he hits form (ala Ames).

My only concern is watching the golf being played. I couldn't care less about a player's lack of charm or charisma.

I think tomorrow's final will be pretty good actually. I'll be rooting for DL3...been awhile since he won an event and he's too talented to fade away so easily.

The only reason Olgivy got to the finals was he ran into a bunch of chokers, Weir was 4up with 4 to play, Nick Ohern could have taken him out with a 5 foot putt to go 2 and 1 on the 17th but choked, Lehman played like **** and then Love blew putt after putt in the final. Olgivy is just lucky to hit the easy ride. This could not happen in a stoke play event either your the best or you dont win. MATCH PLAY *****

Olgilvy was indeed fortunate that his opponents couldn't "close the deal" but that's the nature of golf. He played well enough to win a tournament that included almost all of the world's best players so he must've done something right.

There's more to playing golf than stroke play and a lot of us enjoy the strategy and nuances of Match Play. Those that don't understand those parts of a match play match probably feel the same way you do.
