I Was a Week Early Picking CHIII

You can also keep in mind that I picked Charl Schwartzel and Charles Howell III on the Northern Trust Open final week... And CHIII didn't even make the cut, despite gambling properly within the preceding weeks.

So I picked Tiger Woods as considered one of my Final Four at the WGC-Accenture, and what takes place? He draws CHIII, who right away busts my bracket. And to make it even worse, Howell stated he is by no means ever crushed Tiger after they exercise together.

Great time to get your act together, Chuck...

And since Charl (another of my picks) got upset as well, I'm only 2 for 4 so far. Fredrik Jacobson (aka the Junkman) and Ian Poulter are still alive, but since Poults is going to win it all anyway I'm not too distraught.

Nevertheless, I bet I want to choose new men to finish out my busted brackets. I realize maximum human beings do not try this but given that I'm not gambling a pool with anybody and I like to update my bounced gamers, I'm going to do it.

Besides, it's my blog. ;-)

Since Jacobson is inside the Ben Hogan bracket and Poulter's in the Sam Snead bracket, right here are my new choices for the opposite two:

• In the Gary Player bracket -- the one Tiger was in -- I'm going to take Charles Howell III. As the title of my post suggests, perhaps I just picked him a week early. Besides, it's symmetry; Schwartzel made good last week and bounced this week, so since Howell bounced last week...
• In the Bobby Jones bracket -- where Schwartzel was -- I'm going with Graeme McDowell. In my original bracket post, although I took Schwartzel because he's been playing well, I wrote "There are several good match players here, including Graeme McDowell (who I really like this week), Rickie Fowler, and Zach Johnson." Since I had already mentioned Graeme, I'll take him as my replacement. (I do find it interesting how many upsets there were in this particular bracket.) But if Alex Noren continues to play well, Graeme could be in trouble in the second round.

Just for the record, I should point out that I could still get things right with my original picks if Jacobson and Poulter make the finals.

And as I stated, Poulter's going to win all of it anyway. I recognize I got him proper. ;-)
