WGC Dell Match Play Final Four: Kisner, Noren, Thomas, Bubba
/
Given the possible nightmare scenarios that were brewing, the final four of the 2018 WGC Dell Match Play look sensational on paper.
Given that all four are intriguing Masters contenders for different reasons, and I'm not sure a Tiger-less Dell Match Play could set up much better.
Sunday Morning Semifinal Matches:
(13) Alex Noren vs. (32) Kevin Kisner
(2) Justin Thomas vs. (35) Bubba Watson
Alex Noren is Sunday's most intriguing possibility, as a signature win at the Dell would vault him up most Masters lists and make those of us who might, or might have placed a small deposit on his prospects back in the 90-1 days.
Check out these comments from Johnny and Gary Koch during today's telecast:
Johnny Miller – “I don’t think he has any weaknesses that I can see… He’s sort of got it all – good distance, good iron player and good putter.”
Gary Koch – “There are only two players on the PGA TOUR this year that rank in the top-20 in strokes gained putting and strokes gained tee-to-green. Noren is one of them.”
Aiken's Kevin Kisner is always a fascinating story this time of year given his hometown and his continued love of match play, which was exposed at last year's highly-successful Presidents Cup debut.
And I don't need to tell you that Bubba Watson and Justin Thomas are two Masters favorites facing off. As Rex Hoggard notes,
