World Matchplay it might be named, but World Matchplay (in its originally designed idea) it most shertainly is not.
None of the world's top 4 are here, nor is Masters champ, Zach Johnson.
Never mind. A host of course winners do play - Angel Cabrera, Colin Montgomerie, Anders Hansen and Paul Casey, taking on twice US Open Champ, Retief Goosen, Open Champ, Padraig Harrington, bridesmaid Justin Rose, and 8 World Matchplay virgins.
After a bit of a wet week, the weather looks much better for the rest of the week, until sunday.
I'm hesitant to predict the outcome of Matchplay golf - players simply don't have time to recover from a bad hole in the 1 or 2 round format, and anybody can quite literally beat anybody else on their day.
I would suggest the best bet is no bet, but that probably goes for golf in general, so lets have a stab eh?
No more talk.

Comment: Mmmm. A bit embarrassing really. No joy for "Twenty-Six", (apart from the special bet). Els won his 7th World Matchplay championship at the 14th hole against Angel Cabrera yesterday, 6 and 4.
We move on quickly...!
