Day-vid and Goliath

March 1, 2011 - PRLog -- If you were ever unsure about the unpredictable nature of Match Play Ping K15 Irons = http://www.enjoymygolf.com/goods-130-Ping+K15+Driver.html the first two rounds should have put your mind at rest.





We've seen long and short matches, high and low scores, old and young winners, bombers and plodders, high and low ranked winners, experienced players and rookies progressing and the winners from a host of different nationalities.



Who knows how long a match will last? There were some extraordinary performances in second round with underdogs Ben Crane and Rickie Fowler making short work of higher seeds Rory McIlroy (8&7) and Phil Mickelson (7&6).



Only one of the second round matches went to extra holes when Martin Kaymer got the better of Justin Rose at the 20th hole compared to eight in the first round.



Age makes no difference. The youngest player in the field 17 year-old Matteo Manassero is still in contention along with one of the oldest Ping K15 Irons = http://www.enjoymygolf.com/goods-130-Ping+K15+Driver.html  Angel Miguel Jimenez aged 47. Seven of remaining players in the field are aged under 30 (23 started).



No one style of play pervades over another. While power hitters Bubba Watson and JB Holmes continue to intimidate opponents by length, Luke Donald and Graeme McDowell intimidate theirs with precision.



There are many different nations still competing - eight Americans, five Europeans, two Aussies and an Asian.



Experience only counts for so much. Four rookies have made the last sixteen and four players have record six or more wins in the event.



Rankings don't matter. Only one top seed remains (Martin Kaymer) and one second seed (Graeme McDowell) and they are the only two Ping K15 Irons = http://www.enjoymygolf.com/goods-130-Ping+K15+Driver.html from world's top 10 still in the field.



The lowest ranked player JB Holmes (66), who only got a place in the field at the last moment after the withdrawal of Toru Taniguchi and Tim Clark, has made the third round.



After two days and 48 matches 75% of the field are on the bus home or more likely a private jet but the tournament is just warming up and the sixteen remaining players still have to win four matches to claim the Championship.



Let's have a look at today's eight third round matches.



On average three of the top seeds (2010-3, 2009-2) fail to progress so expect a few upsets but overall it pays to stick with higher seeded players.



The player's win/loss figures are in brackets after their name and top seed in each match is the first named Ping K15 Irons= http://www.enjoymygolf.com/goods-130-Ping+K15+Driver.html.
