27-year-old Australian Geoff Ogilvy sank an 18-foot, downhill putt for birdie on the second playoff hole Sunday to beat Kevin Na and win the Chrysler Classic of Tucson for his first PGA Tour title.
Ok, I finally went 100% for my picks in a round for the Match play. David Toms defeated Chris DiMarco 6 and 5 to win 1.3 million bucks and a neat trophy. Did I mention that Toms is good?
I’m not a news reporter so that is as far as it goes. But I will comment that Phil, Tiger, Vijay and the rest had better look out. Toms was just starting to come into his own when he injured his wrist a couple of years ago. Now he’s back and should prove to be a big factor in any tournament he plays in.
Though he lost, I though DiMarco showed serious guts, especially coming back in the semifinal against Goosen in the fashion that he did.
I would love to see more matchplay on the PGA tour, but you know the corporate sponsors don’t. They didn’t get their big “hollywood” showdown between Tiger and Vijay or Ernie etc…
Newsflash: David Toms is good.
He’s also my pick for the final in the Accenture Match Play Championship.
Next post or two my small review and a couple of pictures of when I played La Costa.
0 for 2 last bracket. DO NOT BET WITH ME! My picking stinks on this!
David Toms defeated Ian Poulter 3 and 2. Chris Dimarco unseeded #1 Retief Goosen 2 and 1. So it’s Toms & Dimarco in the final tomorrow.
Going to go with Toms this time. This should be an interesting match.
4 for 8 last bracket. I’d be losing a ton in vegas.
Dimarco vs Cink -DIMARCO
Goosen vs Allenby -GOOSE (if he wakes up)
O’Hern vs Poulter -O’HERN
Toms vs Scott -SCOTT
(I couldn’t decide on Toms vs Scott, so my boy picked that one)
David Toms knocked off Phil Mickelson in round 3 of the Accenture 4 & 2.
Tiger Woods fell to Nick O’Hern 3 & 1 and Jay Hass defeated Vijay Singh 3 & 2.
Being a #1 seed in this tournament is no guarantee apparently. The three who are playing the best right now are Stewart Cink, David Toms and Adam Scott.
Retief Goosen defeated Chad Campbell in 19 holes.
Man, bad picking last round at 7/17!

Somehow I went 8/8 on my picks of the Bobby Jones Bracket. Despite that I was 18/32. Some of the “upsets” were surprising. Weir, Clarke, Hamilton, Pampling and Ames were all favorites but lost.
I did feel like a genius picking Daly.

The award for round 1 of the Accenture Match Play Championship goes to Thomas Levet. After he missed a par putt to keep his match with Kenny Perry alive, he hucked his putter into the lake!
