Just sucks. I understand the thinking, that brackets are big time in March and they want a piece of the action, but who's really watching match play over NCAA? Already said my piece on the Players, to do it the weekend of conference tournaments and Selection Sunday is a complete failure.

WGC--Matchplay.
This been around since '99
2016 through present at Austin Country Club
Billy Ho the defending champ
-----------------------------------
The tournament is split into two phases:
- The players are split into 16 groups of four players (each group has a player seeded 1–16, 17–32, 33–48, 49–64). Each group plays in a round-robin format over Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. One point is awarded for a win, and one-half point for a tie, with only the group winner qualifying to the next round. If two or more players are tied at the top of the group, there is a sudden death stroke play tie-breaker played to decide who progresses.
- The second phase is played as a knock out tournament, with the round of 16 and quarterfinals played on Saturday, and the semifinal, third-place playoff and final played on Sunday.

Not from 63rd
You have no idea the differences between what I do and what they do.
I can do it, but I’d want to practice beforehand.

US Am was legit. Yardage books, green books, etc.
How many putts did I read during the tournament? Take a guess.
My yardages had to be on point. For these kids, the difference between a 157 yard shot and a 160 yard shot is very significant.
Unlike the guys I work for and I just say “pull the 7”.

Your kid was pretty quiet, right?

Yea. I read one putt. It was during the practice round on BD. Par 4 8th hole. Back center pin. Uphill left to right. He left it a bit short. Looked at me and said “you were right”. Never asked me to look at a putt again all week.
In the big tourney, he could’ve been -4 thru 8 on day 1. His missed putts were brutal. Just so close.
Game. Set. Match.

Great thing about this event that I usually struggle with:
No dead heat wagers
Taking Niemann +3500 .5*, top 2 +1600, top 4 +750 2*, win group 14 +225 4*
I gravitate towards the guys that did well as amateurs since we know they're very good at match play, naturally Rahm fits but rather take the odds w/Niemann.

Don't they just do round robin now to get to 16? If that stat is true that only one #1 won their group...wow!

Kinda miss the old format where the 'ship was a 36 hole marathon
