The pocket pissing has ended
Australian Open champion, Tim Clark has ignored the potential impact of global warming and has done some rather large deforestation of his own by clearing out Woods from the World Matchplay Championship. The 4 and 2 win over Tiger ensured Channel 10 HD could cut to “9am with David and Kim” at 10am without feeling the wrath of Aussie Golfer and a weekend free of the sort of pocket pissing normally reserved for an Ottoman Emperor’s coronation.
As far as the Aussies go, we have one left. Geoff Ogilvy scraped home against Shingo Katayama. Shingo must have thought “Bingo!” after going 2 up with four holes to play but conceded the 16th, 18th and 19th in a minor implosion. Ogilvy got lucky and needs to lift his game coming up against a red hot Camilo Villegas tomorrow. Villegas played terribly in Australia last week. Hey! Wha’ happened!?

Spot on. Bit like Cousins last night. It is not about one guy (albeit he is the best we’ll ever see, Woods that is).
Not that I watched the coverage, but I reckon Clark would have got mentioned twice, at the start, and at the end when he shook his hand (although he could of been referred to as Woods’ conqueror).
We are all glad to see Tiger back, but after reading the headline early this morning on the PGA website titled “Pesky Clark makes Tiger work” I’m actually glad to see the back of Tiger for this tournament!!
Oh those pesky other golfers ruining everything!!!

Ogilvy is looking quite sharp. He has to be the favorite in the final.
