I think she is referring to the 11 or so matches he won in a row to win last year and get to the finals this year.

Yep that is what they have been talking about all week on the Golf Channel about. How he has won so many matches in a row.

I would imagine he'd play in the WGC-CA Championship at Doral two weeks prior to Augusta. He's a good player with lots of power to spare and a decent short game. He could make an impact on the Tour for years to come. Nice win for him...not too dissimilar, in fact, from Ogilvy's breakthrough at this very event last year.

In defense of my idiotic statement a while ago...im taking sinus meds and not feeling like myself...

Winning 6 matches is nothing to sneeze at but you don't have to necessarily play well to win every match. Beating 155 players, over 72 holes is still the standard pros are judged by.

Well, considering that the last event he played was in Dubai - a stroke play event where he both beat Tiger and Els - maybe that gave him the uplift to win this one
