WGC - Accenture MPC

WGC Leaderboard via ESPN

Business as usual for Mr. Woods.

Rod Pampling, however, probably didn't expect to get steamrolled by Villegas 7 & 6 (goodnight, sir!).

Anthony Kim stomps his opponent 7 & 5.

Discuss.

Re: WGC - Accenture MPC

Anthony Kim is just a great match play guy. I expect him to win several of these by the time he's done, as well as put up great Ryder and President's Cup records.

The kid has enough game to match his ego.

Dangerous combo.

I'm hoping he continues to rise to the top to challenge Tiger. It's about time Tiger had a rival.

Caught some of the Tiger show, sunk about 20 footer to win a hole the ball went up and down a slope, I just shook my head, he's back.

What David Duval could have been. Those two started off as great rivals and then Duval had to deal with injuries and personal issues. I have always hoped for him to make a comeback but as more time passes that seems less and less likely.

If you had as much money as Tiger, you could afford to work out for 90 mins a day with the best trainer(s) available.

I'd almost be disappointed if his body wasn't in optimal condition, ya know?

Duval also had swing issues to deal with aside from injuries, and personal issues.

But yeah, when Duval was rockin' the Oakley M Frames and throwin' darts at pins, it was exciting for a season or two.

Counting the Ryder Cup, Kim has now played two rounds of match play as an individual. He beat Sergio at Valhalla and he beat some no name from the far east yesterday.

There is as much evidence that Kim is a GREAT match play guy as there was that Tuffy Rhodes was a great home run hitter after he jacked out 3 on opening day that year.

Red may have been a bit harsh but he was prescient. Kim loses to Wilson 2 and 1.

Tiger's down 3 with 3 to play.

Well, that didn't last long. Tiger loses 4&2 to Tim Clark. Clark played solid making no bogies. Tiger was erratic and really didn't come close to winning today. At least it was fun watching him play again.

Re: WGC - Accenture MPC

Sorry if I was harsh. Just not sure how anyone can say Kim is great at match play when his pro career shows half as many wins in match play as Rory McIlroy has since 6 PM yesterday.

Yes Kim was impressive at the Ryder Cup, taking out Sergio but he and Phil blew a fourball match that they led by 4 holes and today Kim got taken out by a guy who has never won a pro tournament.

Its not that I have anything against Kim, I just don't see the evidence. He has played 2 matches as a pro, 1 singles match at the Ryder Cup and 2 Walker Cup singles matches back in 2005. He is a combined 2-3 in those matches. So why should we believe he is "great"?

0-2 at the Walker Cup
1-0 at the Ryder Cup
1-1 this week

That Phil Mickelson almost choked again. How embarrassing.
