    At least Hunter is still in the game. It's not going to be easy against Poults, but Hunter played pretty well today. Hunter will need all our cheering tomorrow!

    Found it interesting when they discussed Poulters play in this type of venue versus a 72 hole tournament. The analysts believe that Poulter does better as he can concentrate on just one round of golf and opponent better than on a tournament of 72 holes where there is constant pressure to do better each time out against numerous players. They justify that by looking at his tournament wins here, 2, and more over on the other side of the pond where he is more comfortable.

    What do the rest of you golfers think??

    I think Poulter is a very ego driven, self absorbed golfer. His self esteem in match play is the equal of TW. It works well in Tucson and Ryder cup but he can drift of of it during big tournaments where he can't super focus one person to beat. That being said, Paddy made some super shots or he would have an Open championship. I think if he can win one big major he will win a few more tournaments. His style builds on confidence. Super Cocky if his game matched his mouth he would be a mother. might have been better as a Tennis player, Where every match is one on one.

    I like Stricker but he was not beating Poulter in the afternoon. Piercy was hot and new enough to the event not to be scared. If Stricker doesn't roll out that 30 footer on 18 Piercy win's in extra hole's. too bad he could have beaten Poulter.

    Great to see Mahan performing well.

    When I looked at the brackets thought his side of the draw was pretty tough.

    Heard that too. Fascinating analysis. Maybe there is something to this. He certainly has the talent but some are just better match players than stroke players.

    I found it interesting that Kuchar was using Titleist cart gloves and Poulter a Titleist glove. Bridgestone probably doesn't find it interesting.

    In those circumstances it was probably "do whatever you can..." (with exception - must go beyond second round or else... (HAHA))

    I've always liked Hunter, and with his improved short game, he is an even tougher opponent. Halve-way in his match with Poulter he is 2 up, hope he can hang on. Besides, his win last year won Beej and myself 3 StaSof gloves each in a little contest here. Got to keep cheering for my winner! Thanks again Devin and FootJoy!

    Mahan making a statement, "See, I should have been on the Ryder Cup Team!!!" by his play at Accenture.

    What a chip in to go 3 - up over Pultz....
