Kev why does he not do as well in match play as he does in stroke play? It makes no sense to me at all. As intimidating as it is to play him, should he not do better in match play?

He does very well in match play, are you being serious? Hasnt he won 3 amateur championships and already won this tournament once?

His Ryder Cup record is a disgrace Tim.

HUH??

3 straight USGA Juniors (winning 18 straight matches)
3 straight USGA Amateurs (winning 18 straight matches)
2003 and 2004 Amex WGC match play champion (which is winning 12 STRAIGHT matches)

His Ryder Cup SINGLES record is 2-1-1 (the half being after he and Jesper agreed to call it a match after Europe had already clinched the Cup in 2002.)
It is too difficult to judge someone based on their Ryder Cup record where you are so dependent on a partner for 4 out of 5 matches for the weekend.

President's Cup SINGLES record is 3-1. In those 3 wins he beat Norman, Singh, and Els. His lone defeat coming to Goosen...no shame in that.

Soooooooooooo...he does just fine in match play. He has just spoiled us a great deal in regular tournament play Mike. Other than the AMEX-WGC Match play, they don't really have any other single events that are match play.

LOL...Euros not happy that "The American" Micheel beat Euro Ryder cup member Robert Karlson in the Semi Finals of the Match Play.Guarantees something like $700k minimum (even if he loses the final tomorrow.) I think the winner gets either 1.3,or 1.5 mil.Micheel versus Casey.I think Micheel is good enough tee to green to take Casey,but who knows.

I couldnt agree more. What a bunch of phonies these American guys and their wives are. Spitting at the Eurpean players and their families. How can you possibly root for these idiots, with Tiger being the lone exception. Wake me up when its over.
