LeRinkRat · Answer

match play tourneys can be WEIRD as I found out earlier this season in Perth, Australia BUT here is who I took "to win" shots with

Thomas Pieters 40-1
Tommy Fleetwood 50-1
Matthew Fitzpatrick 60-1
Alex Noren 60-1
Pat Perez 100-1

sacker17 · Answer

RatLike a lot of your picks but not Noren as I don&#x27;t think Noreen is near as sharp as he was at end of 2016 season GL

HermosaBch · Answer

Best of Luck Rink.

LeRinkRat · Answer

WOW!!! MURDEROUS 1st round for the "name favorites"!!! Soren Kjeldsen beat Rory McIlroy 2&1, Jason Day "conceded" to Pat Perez on the 7th hole down 3, Hideto Tanihara beat Jordan Spieth 4&2 and "The Matthew Mouse" Fitzpatrick got CRUSHED by Kevin Na 5&4

Dustin Johnson rolled over Webb Simpson 5&3 while my "to win" picks Tommy Fleetwood, Thomas Pieters, Alex Noren and Pat Perez all won their 1st rounds along with Marc Leishman and Ty Hatton. the Japanese "Who ???" players played well with Hideto Tanihara beating Spieth and Yuta Ikeda halving with Ryan Moore. I have $5 'to win" "sprinkles" on both @ 200-1

interesting 2nd day matches Thursday. will see IF McIlroy can "bounce back" vs Gary Woodland and IF Spieth can get back on track vs Yuta Ikeda. kind of looking like Jason Day may be "disinterested" vs Lee Westwood. I hope my guys Fleetwood, Pieters, Noren and Perez can keep it going along with the two Japanese AND hopefully "The Matthew Mouse" can "bounce back" vs Chris Wood

PuttForeDough · Answer

Day has withdrawn Rink. I am just watching videos now of his interview. Life can be cruel.

sacker17 · Answer

Nice day ratGood luckNoren played well today and it is a weak bracket. Your long shots looking good with day gone and Rory and Spieth on life support.

LeRinkRat · Answer

well one reason I played Alex Noren this week is last season he went thru the field in the Paul Lawrie Match Play @ Archerfield in Scotland like Heinz Guderian went thru Poland and France only to mis-manage his final match with that old geezer Anthony Wall in a howling wind and end up 2nd. I am sure he LEARNED from that experience

LeRinkRat · Answer

Soren Kjeldsen and Alex Noren are into the Saturday "knockout round" with BOTH Woodland AND Molinari as tourney WD&#x27;s. will see Friday WHO they get out of Group #15 (likely McGirt) and Group #9 (likely Koepka) my guys Matthew Fitzpatrick and Tommy Fleetwood are on "life support" ONLY hope they have is for them to WIN and their group leaders to LOSE Friday so they get to a "sudden-death" playoff. Pat Perez needs to defeat or halve Westwood Friday to avoid a 3 way playoff with him and Leishman. Hideto Tanihara can get to the "knockout round" IF he can defeat countryman Yuta Ikeda

LeRinkRat · Answer

well the "Matthew Mouse" got help from Chris Wood SO he gets a playoff vs Na. Group #16 with Tommy Fleetwood matches go later today. NEED Tommy to beat Kuchar and Zack Johnson to beat Steele to get a Fleetwood vs Johnson playoff

glad i took a "hedge" match play with Westwood even over Pat Perez. Pat loses 1&2 SO that group looks person a 3 way playoff with Perez, Westwood and Leishman all with 2 points

half way thru their round it looks like Hideto Tanihara will win Group 5 which was the Jordan Spieth group. he is 3 up on Ikeda thru #9

LeRinkRat · Answer

well I got PORKED in the 3rd round. Fleetwood LOSES 2&4 to freeking Kuchar who had been halfazzed the 1st two round giving the group to Zack Johnson. the "Matthew Mouse" WON his match with Thomas BUT LOST the playoff to damn Na. "Salt" Pieters half with Watson gave Bubba that group and Perez LOSS to Westwood set up a 3 way playoff won by Leishman.

went 5-11 on my Group picks and only have TWO "money plays" still working for the "knockout rounds". Alex Noren who has to play red hot Brooks Koepka and super long shot Hideto Tanihara who gets Paul Casey. I may throw down an adjusted "to win" on Brooks Koepka

I can make ONE "for sure" predication for the 1st "knockout" round. JOHNSON will WIN the #1 vs #16 Group match

LeRinkRat · Answer

Hokey Smoke!!! just ONE MISS first round!!! Noren defeated Koepka (or rather Brooks beat himself) 3&amp;1. all others WINNERS makes NO difference in the end. Dustin Johnson will CORK Noren in his 2nd match
