Here is one for you......Say you were handed $500,000 but there was a catch...you have to bet it.....you win you have a millon...lose and you have nothing.....The bet is Phil; Tiger; Westwood and Stricker are going to play 10 - 18 hole rounds....For each round first place gets 10 points; second place gets 7 points; third place gets 5 points and fourth gets 2 points. You have to bet on the player who will have the most points after the 10 rounds.....Who would you bet on? I'll take Tiger....

Westwood and Phil would dominate. Why? It all would be like a match-play event and Tiger and Stricker's history on match-play are pretty ugly. Westwwod and Phil just have that ability to do match-play pretty well.. Phil is my choice.... Not sure why you think it would be like match play? Not playng to win holes....Playing 18 hole rounds...stroke play....best score gets 10 points |

If it was this year, and at the same course, it would be a close call between Phil and Tiger. Tiger would find some modicum of a game in ten rounds, and Phil has the law of averages on his side (he can blow up one round, and be saved by the others). For Westwood and Stricker to contend, they'd have to come in hot, and keep playing incredible, hard to do. Strick went on a nice run a few years back, closing out the season, but just ran out of gas, and he hasn't shown that same form since, he definitely has been good, not as great as he was in that stretch.
Do we have to bet it all on one man? (Yeah, yeah, I know) ;) If I had to bet today, and against my better judgment, I'd place it all on.... Jack, oh wait, he's not on the list ;) ok, ok, Phil |
