My Picks for the WGC-Accenture Match Play

ram1502 · 02-19-13, 07:56 PM

Sam Snead Bracket:

Nick Watney +4000- I don't think Donald comes out of this bracket, so I'm going with value here. I honestly don't see the winner of this bracket winning the tournament so why not. Who knows in this format? Watney has kinda cooled off since his scorching start but I still like the way he's playing...
Jamie Donaldson +13500- If we're gonna go with value, let's go all out! Donaldson is on fire this year. He's flying up the world rankings and can play with anybody on any given day. He might fall early to one of the big boys in his bracket, but I think he's gonna show out this week...

Ben Hogan Bracket:

Robert Garrigus +6500- Two more long shots for this bracket. Garrigus is playing well and with a few breaks could squeak his way into saturday. I love his putting and thats always a plus in match play...
Nicolas Colsaerts +6000- This is the one "sleeper" who I feel most confident about. He's a scrappy little player, not afraid of anything or anybody, and is very dangerous this week IMO...

Who you got? What do you think of the picks?

DMB40 · 02-19-13, 08:59 PM

Threw some $ on 15 long shots And tiger +1030

David toms +27500
Tim Clark 15000
zach johnson + 14500

Who do you like in the matches tomorrow ?

ram1502 · 02-19-13, 09:14 PM

Noren, McDowell, Wood, Colsaerts, Cabrera-Bello, Sterne, Donaldson all look good to me man. FWIW...

Love Mcdowell and Colsaerts. Both are great match players and I see Mcdowell making the final 4. They both played in the finals i believe last year or 2011 for the European match play championship. They also both did well in the ryder cup. Cashed them both today. Colsaerts is in tough against Rose, but I think if he can keep the match to AS or 1 down going into 15 he will win. He tends to "stick around" and really make some clutch shots to put the pressure on down the stretch. Also like Poulter Mahan and Web. BOL on the plays tomorrow fellas lets hope they cash.

ram1502 · 02-22-13, 10:14 AM

Well, I have 5/8 left. Bad news is my biggest odds guy is out(Donaldson), but "good" news is my two lowest odds players are out also(Tiger, Schwartzel). Absolutely cannot believe they both lost along with Rory. However, I feel really good about McDowell's and Mahan's chances to make the final four. Hoping Watney goes on a tear in that stacked bracket. And I feel really good about either Garrigus or Colsaerts sneakin into the final four. I expect these two to be playin each other in the elite 8...

ram1502 · 02-22-13, 11:18 AM

Also, given the fall of 3/4 #1's, everybody's odds have plummeted relative to what they would be if the 1's were still around. Mahan @ +1800, Colsaerts +2200, McDowell +2500, Watney +2500, Garrigus +2700. These all seem to be a good bit low, and are each significantly lower than the opener and where I thought they'd be after only one round.

ram1502 · 02-22-13, 07:31 PM

4/8 left with Watney's bullshit loss. Should have at least 2 in the final four

ram1502 · 02-22-13, 09:53 PM

McDowell opened at +8500. At +1450 now.
Mahan opened at +2300. At +1000 now.
Garrigus opened at +6500. At +1500 now.
Colsaerts opened at +6000. At +900 now.

Really hoping one of the three big +'s win it obviously and i honestly think they have a great chance. They are all playing great. Garrigus/Colsaerts tom afternoon would be a helluva match!!

TPowell · 02-22-13, 10:05 PM

only bet 1 guy to win. Have Matt Kuchar at +3500 to win the whole thing. Been betting the matches mostly

Had a great day today (3-0) with Mahan, Kaymer, and Clark.

Liking Garrigus, McDowell, and Jason Day tomorrow. Garrigus is scorching hot, McDowell is a much more intimidating presence than Rory and a lot mentally tougher plus Lowry will come crashing back down to earth soon. Like Jason Day because of how bad Watson has looked putting so far this week.

ram1502 · 02-22-13, 10:24 PM

I like them all man. I think the winner of the Garrigus/Colsaerts bracket is gonna be a force to be reckoned with. I def think Lowry has a wake up call tomorrow. I like McDowell, Mahan, Piercy, Garrigus, and Colsaerts tomorrow early. GL TPowell in everything except the Kuchar/Colsaerts match.

BankHead · 02-22-13, 11:01 PM

Sat matches
McDowell
Poulter
Simpson
Colsaerts

Also leaning kaymer. I know mahan has been a machine lately but i think kaymer gets it done. Looking to go 5/5 again. BOL Fellas.

ram1502 · 02-23-13, 09:07 AM

GL bank. I will be very surprised if Mahan, Colsaerts, or McDowell loses. That's just my 2 cents. I'm about to catch some of the action on my Ipad before it comes on the golf channel...cheers!

TPowell · 02-23-13, 12:12 PM

damn, my bet on Jason Day didn't go through. I somehow got Hunter Mahan in though. Everybody up at least 3 so far and Kuchar looking strong

TPowell · 02-23-13, 01:50 PM

wish lines were out for this afternoon. Poulter won't beat Stricker or Piercy and Mahan will handle Simpson IMO. No clue on Kuchar/Garrigus or Day/McDowell though

TPowell · 02-23-13, 02:18 PM

Stricker +120 over Poulter for this afternoon.

Hopefully I get a shot at betting on Mahan

BankHead · 02-23-13, 02:35 PM

Like Poulter over stricker. Hes getting old, he knows it. Thats why hes playing less events this year. Two 5+ hour rounds in one day is not strickers thing ill tell u that much. Like McDowell over day also. Day has been hitting some pretty unreal shots this match play event and I dont know if he will be able to continue this afternoon. Again BOL on all plays fellas

TPowell · 02-23-13, 06:59 PM

penetrating stricker gags again. I don't think Poulter is in that great of form. Will be tough to not bet Mahan on Poulter but def not Simpson. On the other end, I feel good about Kuchar getting to the final

ram1502 · 02-25-13, 09:00 AM

Nice pick with Kuch TPowell! Congrats! Cant believe Mahan played that terribly and still had a chance late. Oh well. Onto the honda...

of course I hedged and only won half of what I would have won if I didn't. Oh well, made a pretty penny for the tournament. Match play is so penetrating easy.

ram1502 · 02-27-13, 01:43 PM

Who u likin this week T?? Im lookin at McDowell, Schwartzel, and Jacobson.
