I'm a huge Els homer.. always loved his game, so be careful with that pick.
Q. You made lots of birdies in two days. Did you think you would make as many as this on these difficult greens?
ERNIE ELS: Well last week I made 20 birdies and finished 3-under for the week. So I had a lot of mistakes in between.
But when you're making birdies you're doing something good. And I'm striking the ball quite nicely. I've been working with Butch and so forth, so I feel I'm really comfortable with my swing.
I just thought I needed to start making some putts. And as I said yesterday, I went back to my old style putter, the Callaway, and I've been trying to get comfortable with that.

Q. Do you think that old style putter is the reason that you're playing so well or eliminating mistakes?
ERNIE ELS: Yeah, I've also been looking at some old tapes, because I've been changing my technique and where my hands are and stuff. And I've gone back to a 35 inch putter, with the old shaft, and it's got a little bit of give in the shaft. And I had Callaway copy an old putter of the one I used to use. So I'm going back to the old thinks that I used to do.

Q. You look like you got that glint in your eye. Is something coming back?
ERNIE ELS: Yeah, I've been working my ass off a lot and I'm starting to feel a little bit better. I'm really swinging nicely. I got to stay within myself and not get ahead of myself. Just stay in the moment.

Anyway..
Ernie Els -120 over Luke Donald (Round 3)
Ian Poulter -135 over Sean O'Hair (Round 3)

Good luck if you tail <><>

One in the bank fellas..! <><>
Shame to see Luke not play the 18th, although he was dominated this match. He is a class act, and hopefully his wrist heals.

Anyway.. come on Poulter.

Geoff Ogilvy -120 to reach the final 4

(5 - 1 Posted this week)
Rory is a great talent, but he's beat a list of nobodies. I mean they are decent players, but combined I think they have 1 tour win. Geoff has the experience, hes a better putter, and he lives in the desert. Good luck <><>

Tim clark knocks off tiger and was flat today as a result....no exactly a nobody, but I see where you are going - Didn't Stenson win in Dubai last year or two years ago and the win the match play?



I also think ernie els will knock out cink tmr...Stewie has not played great but has sqweaked through some matches

I like paul casey (grabbed him to win at +800 this Am instead of paying -190 in his match ) his path to the finals could relatively easy compared to the other side with Els, Ogilvy, Cink & Mcilroy still in the hunt lot of good match players.

Grrrrrroooovy Baby.

Yea Stenson won in Dubai and came here, he also lives in Dubai..
That hasn't helped over here with play in the States for Henrik. Rory said 2 days ago in his presser there are no similarities to Dubai and Arizona golf.

My point was the 3 guys he beat haven't won 5 times on tour combined.. and don't have a major win. It will be an interesting match, if Rory wins this one and then can beat Els that would be nuts.

If Ogilvy wins and is paired vs Fisher tomorrow and the line is -150 or better, I will be on it, otherwise thats it for the week.
