2ND Round PICKS OVERALL Then!  NOT GOOD!   =  (6-10)...........OVERALL Throughout Match-Play I am =  [27-21]!

I was GOD AWFUL AGAIN ON MY Head2Head, Round-by-Round Predictions!

[BOBBY JONES] (1-1) Totals through 3 RDS. in this bracket are:  [8-6].....................

[BEN HOGAN]  (0-2) Total throughout the 3 rounds! =  [6-8]....

[PLAYER]  (1-1)  TOTAL =  [9-5]

[SAMMY SNEAD]  (0 for 2)  TOTAL = [6-8]

SWEET 16  [2-6] 

OVERALL through each pick then [ 29-27]...........

OverALL now  .500!  (30-30) 

I did not post The finals back on Sunday due to The Final 4, but ALL 4 Golfers had to play 36 Holes of this GREAT Event out in the DESERT!  I could careless of the 3rd Place Match, as it is pretty much for dead air TV fill in-time, anyways!

I picked DAY  >  Victor Dubuisson

So I WON The MATCH going for the whole Match-Play Tournament just above .500 @  [32-31]!!!

As all of YOU SMART Golf watchers know-The REAL Winner was Dubuisson down 3 to have a GREAT Bunker shot, I believe on 18 then Putt it IN!  Extend the MATCH 5 EXTRA HOLES!   How about Dubuisson unbelievable for the ages shot by a Cactus on back-to-back Holes!  Victor had NO Hesitation+practice Swings and put the golf ball very close to the hole and kept on fighting!  His one swing as he came through with his Wedge, I believe-hit the TV Cable cord, and his ball hit a few fine small pebbles to have a chance of extending the Match being near the hole!!!  GREAT DRAMA on Sun. in my opinion, friends!

Off to The Florida Swing now!!!
