For a course that wasn't supposed to favor length, only 2 of the quarter finalists would be considered average or below average in length. 5 of them are certified bombers.

Day vs McIlroy in semis will be great.
No Americans in the semis. Not coincidentally, we've gotten our butts kicked in the Ryder Cup recently.
We don't have guys whose swings hold up under pressure.Originally Posted by DeacLaw05
In the history of the game?
Who has had a better swing? Maybe Purtzer?
Purtzer? Seriously?
It's obviously subjective to some extent. Sam Snead perhaps, but I would say Hogan. I have heard Nicklaus say that Hogan was a better ball striker than Tiger.
As for pure beauty Purtzer definitely has to be in the conversation.
Great match. All square through ten.
I've always liked Louis but he is one funny looking little dude.
Fun fact: Rory and Louis are the same height at 5 ft 10 in. I know, I was blown away too when I heard that.
Among the senior set I'd add in Steve Elkington too.
I'm old, but Snead and Hogan were before my day. For pure beauty, and not necessarily ball striking, Purtzer and Louie have the nicest swings I've ever seen.
This McIlroy/Day match is fantastic heavyweight stuff. It's amazing how far those guys hit it for their size, and when they're on, they have every aspect of the game down.
Crazy finish between Rory and day on 18. Day advances
Following Rory vs Day was fun. On 12 Rory's approach just missed hitting us and then we got to watch from 5 feet away as he told a cop to fuck off and then beat his club into ground after his chip was short. Great stuff.
Agreed
If only more match play events ended with matches like McIlroy/Day... That was awesome. Wish it had been the final (probably).
Also, this golf course is fantastic.
I wish they would re-seed once the field is cut to 16 and again when it's cut to 4. No reason they couldn't.
I think the seeds are pretty much meaningless in the first place.
I agree this course is fantastic. Would love to play it. Better start making some important friends.
Harvey Penick can get you on. No problem.
