Mouthwatering matchup at Congressional




I am delighted with the final pairing at AT&T Congressional, the indomitable Tiger Woods with the young upstart, Antony Kim!!!

It could not have been a better match up.

There is no doubt about how much I admire Tiger Woods, his talents and his competitive drive. For the sake of golf, I have always been supporting the smaller guy to beat him. I remember rooting for Rocco Mediate when the "old man" was fighting the limping Tiger in the 2008 US Open.

Eversince, Antony came into the scene, he has been touted as a potential World No 1. They have never been put together in a final pairing. If there is one person who can match him, it has to be Antony Kim.

So how will the cocky Antony face up to Tiger? Like many others, will him wilt under the intense presence of Tiger?

This is a mouthwatering matchup. And like Independance Day, I am sure there will be fireworks!!

It was so predictable. Tiger won again. Shooting 3-under on the last day.. Antony Kim shot 1 over and was over taken by Hunter Mahan for 2nd place...

I think AK tried too hard. His hooked driver shots showed that but he had some great shots from the woods to the green and he was able to land the ball softly.
Tiger was in control and very patient - a little too much and he lost some birdie attempts as a result.
Hunter was already lapping it all up and relisehed the flow of birdies that came so easily, even the last hole. Well luck has apart to play as well in this game.
