The WGC Accenture Match Play has narrowed down to a four man field. Hunter Mahan advances to the championship match after defeating Mark Wilson, followed by Rory Mcllroy, after taking on fellow European Lee Westwood. Round 6 matches have set up to be a small preview of the Ryder Cup. Below you will find our predictions for the championship and third place matches.
Championship Match:
Hunter Mahan vs. Rory Mcllroy - We didn’t see this one coming, but boy has it been an exciting tournament. Many of us expected Martin Kaymer to make it the finals after a great performance last year, but this chapter of the WGC Accenture Match Play has yet another story stored for us. Mahan will be looking to obtain his second WGC event win, while placing himself among a elite group of golfers. Mcllroy on the other hand is not only looking for a win, but becoming World #1 in the Official World Golf Rankings. With so much on the line I believe Mahan will defeat Mcllroy 3&2.
Third Place Match:
Mark Wilson vs. Lee Westwood - Though the consolation match tends to be pushed over with all the buzz surrounding the championship match, this is Wilson’s chance to stamp his name in WGC history. Westwood also had a chance at becoming World #1 if he proceed to championship match. So winning this match is a must for Westwood, if he wishes to stay close to that #1 spot. I boldly predict an American sweep, Wilson wins 2&1.
