Re: Accenture World Matchplay Golf Championships I think this is one of the hardest events to pick a winner, or even a place. Great info by Yer Man above.:clap Looking through the list demonstrates how hard it is, only 2 previous winners in the field. Catching a player right is more important this week than any other, to win they need to come through an 18 hole match per day on Wed/Thu/Fri, 2 18 hole matches on saturday and a 36 hole final on Sunday. Thats 6 matches and potentially 144 holes without going through any major sticky patches. Having said all that it ain't gonna stop me from having a go. :ok
