You need to delete a line before 1 point for all 5? (I am easily confused, lol)

2 should be vs Garcia, shirley?

I picked Woods v Kuchar as they are currently on a similar level.

Why Garcia?

They had a big row at the Matchplay...

I only read about it as I don't have Sky, but the drift was Garcia lost the plot after missing a putt and took his ball away before Kuch gave the next putt to him.

A few quotes from Europeans blaming Kuch.....

I gathered so unless we get a No Deal Brexit during the second round

I was assuming it was where you were from, not which tour you are playing.
I will change the answer if it is the Tour
