That Matchplay tournament was something else. No wonder it's in my top 3 every year. It was obvious to me that after round 1, Poulter and Casey were the guys to beat. Even after I wrote negative feelings about Poulter. I take it all back, he's a winner in the USA. What a show. It was really fun to watch.
On to this week. Phoenix. I went to this tournament in 1969, 40 years ago. Before you had to pack a handgun everywhere in and around Phoenix. IMO, one of the most dangerous places on earth.
They say. Who's they? They say this is a putters tournament to win. I say, you still have to get the ball on the green, then putt. My mix for this week looked like Kuchar again 41.00, Gay 36.00, Hoffman 81.00, Zach Johnson 36.00, and Watney 34.00. And Holmes is still on fire too, 25.00. Those guys.
I do some research, as I always do, after capping with my system, and find out that the concensus for this week is Kuchar, Gay, Hoffman, Zach, and Watney. Or roughly those guys. I hate this. It counterfeits all my work. I could get these picks off the PGA website, and save a lot of time. This has been happening to me more and more lately. It's obvious we are weighting our selections more or less the same. I don't like to be anti, just to be anti. That's counterproductive. I do like to win. But I liked it better when I lined up with no one and still won. that's really fun.
This week---
Zach Johnson to win 35.00--How boring is this. Me and 5000 other guys have picked Zach to win. Why? Simple really. He's good, very good. He doesn't get rattled or openly frustrated. He putts extremely well. He plays this layout well. He's due. He will win this year, more than once. He's in fairly good form, and overall, he's a good bet. More later.
