Accenture Match Play TV Schedule Today

I feel special now, and not “special ED” as my kids would say… Tiger’s former coach Hank Haney tweeted with me today, following Tiger’s first round departure at the Accenture Match Play Championship:
Haney
“For all the talk of Tiger’s poor driving the last 6 years I have never seen him drive it out of play with a match or tournament on the line.”

Wasn’t that a 3-metal too, to keep it in play?
Haney
@HOGGOLFBLOG it was a 3 wood but when u hit it 285 it isn’t automatic at all
7:59PM ET
Justin Rose missed a birdie to win the match but Zach Johnson still had to make a par putt from about 10 feet to extend the match to the 18th hole. No go. Justin Rose beats Zack and my final picks total is 22/32.
7:45PM ET
Justin Rose is still 1up, both players are in the fairway at the par-4 17th.
7:29PM ET
The only match left is Zach Johnson vs Justin Rose. My pick is Zach and if he wins I’ll be 23/32.
The match is currently through 15 holes and Justin Rose is 1up. Go Zach!
