63 Dart Throws at the Accenture Match Play Championship
Life is better with brackets. Let's make some picks, shall we?
BOBBY JONES BRACKET
Lee Westwood over Henrik Stenson
Stenson has won this event, but what's happened to his game in recent years?

Two young studs, but Watney's consistency gives hi the edge
Retief Goosen ove K.J. Choi
When it comes to nerves on the green, Goosen is a better putter than the stats might suggest
Francesco Molinari over Ryan Moore
When in doubt, pick the Euro
Steve Stricker over Matteo Manassero
Dreamy putting stroke gets him through
Charl Schwartzel over Ryo Ishikawa
Schwartzel's last five starts on the European Tour: 8-1-4-4-2
Charley Hoffman over Luke Donald
Don't share this pick with RotoWire's Northwestern Mafia
Edoardo Molinari over Martin Laird
Even Fonzie would be afraid of the Molinari Crunch
Westwood over Watney
Westwood is one of the Top 5 players in the world right now
Goosen over Molinari
If you've been struck by lightning multiple times, nothing throws you
Schwartzel over Stricker
When's the last time this kid had a bad stretch of golf?
