Accenture Match Play continues today with only 8 golfers left.
Although many of the top seeds are gone, there are some great stories left.
Ian Poulter has been staking a claim to this title since his Day One victory over Justin Leonard. Yesterday he defeated Jeev M. Singh and today he faces another European Tour veteran Thongchai Jaidee.
Jaidee is one of those golfers who gets very little attention, but always seems to be in the mix when Sunday arrives. However, I think this Sunday he will be on the sidelines.
Poulter has been consistently excellent since his Ryder Cup appearance. But watch out, if Ian Poulter captures the Accenture, his confidence level will increase and I think he will go on a tear becoming a PGA multiple winner.
Another story worth watching today, features Sergio Garcia against another European star Oliver Wilson. Wilson upset Luke Donald yesterday with a 39 foot birdie putt on the 20th hole.
However, the real story is Garcia's attempt to rebound from a terrible 2009 season. Like Poulter if Garcia wins this tournament watch out for a string of victories, or at the very least a lot of Top Five finishes in the next few weeks.
Stewart Cink faces Paul Casey in another match and Cink could do the rest of the field a big favor by knocking off Casey. After all, Casey seems to thrive on match play and if he gets past the Open Champ look for Casey to be a tough "out" for the remaining golfers.
