Stephen Ames knows the feeling from last year. He mouthed off a bit about his chances given Tiger Woods winning some tourneys despite not playing his best. They were matched up in the first round of the 2006 WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship.
The result? Seven birdies from Eldrick, a 29 on the front nine, an early lunch seating…and of course,
9 and 8.
The 2007 WGC has some amazing first-round matchups:
- Match 3 - 8:08am - Geoff Ogilvy vs. Steve Stricker (two former champs)
- Match 11 - 9:20am - Retief Goosen vs. Scott Verplank (two of the most boring interviews and best shotmakers)
- Match 17 - 10:17am - Sergio Garcia vs. Darren Clarke (intense wardrobes complement two intense match play warriors)
We will break these down, as well as our weekend predictions, in our podcast for Thursday!
