The first day of the WGC-Accenture Championship was filled with lots of exciting extra holes and top seeded golfers were sent packing to go home early.
The notable losses were (2) Padrig Harrington losing to (15) Jeev Mikah Singh, (3) Kenny Perry losing to (14) Brian Gay, and (2) Henrik Stenson losing to (15) Ben Crane. However, the number one seed Steve Stricker lost to (16) Ross McGowan of England, who only got into the 64-man field because Woods isn't playing, when McGowan rolled in a 30-foot par putt on the 19th hole to become only the second No. 64 seed to win a match. The other was in 2002, when Peter O'Malley beat Woods in the first round.

My pick (3) Geoff Ogilvy continued his match play dominance at this tournament by crushing (14) Alexander Noren.
The attention of the great play seemed to stop once the announcement that Tiger Woods is going to hold a press conference this Friday at 11:00am EST from Florida. According to his agent Mark Steinberg, Tiger will speak to "friends, colleagues and close associates" in a tightly scripted statement at PGA Tour headquarters.
Should be interesting. I will keep everyone updated.
