Snedeker and Stanley were the second-most-compelling American pairing after Tiger Woods, a three-time champion, and Nick Watney, who's won two PGA Tour events since Woods‘s last official tour victory in 2009.
Watney eliminated Woods, 1-up, in the match that resembled a log-rolling contest. Watney never trailed following the 10th hole and played steadily while Woods fought and fought to help keep his balance before stumbling for the 18th.
I respect greatly what Tiger is doing in this Titleist MB 710 Forged Irons game and then for the bingo, so I’m very happy to move ahead, said Watney, that will face the former world No. 1 player Lee Westwood.
It would have been a very stand-up match, no gamesmanship or anything like that, Watney said. It was only hard fought.
Woods, who's won 33 matches in 12 appearances within this event, led only once or twice, after No. 4, and was two down with three holes to try out before making an elemen to win the 16th hole. He stuck his approach shot at No. 18 but pulled a 5-foot birdie putt that could have extended the match.
I was fighting the blocks for hours on end with my putter, said Woods, who had previously been happy with his full swings around the stretch.
I didn‘t miss an individual shot taylormade r9 supertri driver coming in, which can be good, he explained. And that was fun heading to the ball that well. Unfortunately, I recently didn’t come up with a putt when I needed it.
As Woods examined his last putt, all activity for the practice green involving the 18th hole along with the clubhouse ceased. Steve Stricker, who gave Woods a few discount golf clubs recommendations on the greens whenever they played an exercise round Tuesday, gingerly made his distance to a patch of cactus so he might get an improved look at Woods‘s putt.
Dustin Johnson, who had joined Stricker in the Round of 16, is 6 feet 4 inches but has not been tall enough to find out above the crowd ringing the back of the green, so he stood about the seat of your golf buggy.
