When it comes to Match Play, we'll find out if it's better to make picks based on hours of research or knowing almost nothing at all. Here is a summary of how Robin (after splitting a pitcher of sangria with me) made her first round Match Play picks:
Woods over Henry - "Woods, duh."
Allenby over Clark, O'Hern over Glover, Howell over Sabbatini, Stenson over Johnson, and Donald over Jimenez - "Because they are ranked higher." (This followed a painful ten minute discussion over seeding, which I think she still doesn't understand).
Baddeley over Katayama and Pettersson over Choi - "Asians can't play golf."
Mickelson over Green - "Phil!!!" (ASU ties)
Campbell over Rose - "Is Campbell the funny looking New Zealand guy who smiles a lot? (giggling) I like him."
Clarke over Garcia - "People don't play golf in Spain."
Howell III over Appleby - "Howell III reminds me of Gilligan's Island."
Dredge over Els - "People play golf in Wales more than in South Africa.'
Poulter over Bryant - "Poulter is like poultry, so I'm picking him."
Bjorn over Immelman - "Bjorn, because it sounds like the singer girl who wore the bird suit."
DiMarco over Wetterich - "Because it's 6 versus 11."
Furyk over Quigley - "How do you pronounce that? (Me: "Furyk") Furyk, since I've heard of him."
Campbell over Cabrera - "Because he's the underdog and from the US."
Love III over Crane - "I like Love, it makes me smile."
Oberholser over Toms - "Oberholser, because it's funny."
Singh over Rollins - "I guess they play golf in Fiji, because they have lots of resorts."
Karlsson over Ames - "Who plays golf more, Swedes or Canadians? It's too cold to play golf in Canada and I've never heard of any golf courses in Canada."
Harrington over Westwood - "Got to go for the Irish guy."
Cink over Singh - "(Laughing) His last name is Cink. Done."
Scott over Micheel - "Because he's ranked #1."
Pampling over Yang - "Koreans don't play golf."
Casey over Weir - "Canadian versus English? English."
Monty over Edfors - "Is this a Scottish guy? He's got to be in there."
Verplank over Goosen - "Verplank! It sounds like if you dropped a remote off the couch. We'll go with Verplank because it's funny."
Durant over Fasth - "US."
Ogilvy over Stricker - "Ogilvy because it's a hair care product from the '80's."
Goydos over Olazabal - "His name is Maria? Pansy."

Asians don't play golf?! Tell that to S.S.P. Chowrasia, Thaworn Wiratchant and Jeev Singh.
