Championship Match:
Ogilvy(-130) over Stenson
- - (1) I lost my internet access during yesterday's winter strorm which prevented a definite play by me in the semi-finals . . . (2) Just to finish up on some number crunching from an earlier post, my calculations show that Stenson has lost 15 holes, has rebounded 3 times to win a hole right after a loss, and 3 times has lost consecutive holes; Ogilvy has lost 12 holes, has rebounded 4 times to win a hole right after a loss, and 1 time has lost consecutive holes. I guess it's nice to know those numbers support the play I would have made even if I hadn't calculated them . . . (3) Not unlike the Super Bowl, after making a significant investment of time and effort in following the proceedings of a noteworthy competition, it's not my thing to pass without some sort of play on the final question, and failing to find value on one side or the other is really not a constraint. I could make a strong case that this championship week is a Stenson moment, but he's drawn the one opponent I will not oppose this week - I guess it's an in-running wager, now.
