My Eyes Are Bleeding

Memo to John Daly's pants:

I applaud your valiant effort, but nothing can cleanse the mind of the memory of the 1999 Ryder Cup uniforms.

Rickie Rainbow

Rickie Fowler prevailed over Peter Hanson of Sweden in today's matchplay, so we'll see another color of the rainbow tomorrow when he takes on Phil Mickelson. Will Phil be in pinstripes or his shiny, shiny pants? We kid because we love, Phil.

Accenture Match Play 2011

Five days of match play start today and there are several interesting matchups right out of the gate with Poulter (the reigning champion) vs. Cink being the most compelling. Other matches I'm looking forward to this Wednesday - and ones that just might trip me up in my brackets - include Harrington vs. Ogilvy, Holmes vs. Villegas and Z. Johnson vs. Rose.

The big boys, Kaymer, Westwood, Mickelson and Woods (based on his career as opposed to anything he's shown of late) would seem to have relatively easy first rounds ahead of them. Still, there's always some early upsets to make things more interesting. For instance, some writers are predicting Rory McIlroy will go down early. I don't know, I just don't see it.

If you want to get in on the action, you can download the brackets here.

Play moves fast, and it's already underway, but you can still sneak in your picks assuming you've been working this morning and haven't been tuned into the action yet.
