SAN FRANCISCO – The biggest story Wednesday won’t be which players won their opening match at the WGC-Cadillac Match Play.
It’ll be those who lost and now can’t afford another miscue if they want to reach the knockout stage at Harding Park.
That there even is a possible safety net for the world’s best is what makes this week’s event one of the most intriguing tournaments on the schedule.
Since its inception, the Match Play has peaked on Wednesday, when the top seeds squared off against guys with nothing to lose. Upsets ruled the day, and it only got less interesting from there.
