Impressive. So, So Impressive.
Match play golf throws up many different obstacles than the traditional stroke play round, mainly due to the fact you're no longer competing against the course but instead an opponent. It doesn't matter if you make a birdie or double-bogey, all you need to do is beat your opponent's score on any given hole.
This was evident in the weekend's World Match Play final between hot prospect Jon Rahm and world number one Dustin Johnson. Rahm found himself five down through eight holes and realised he needed something special to get back into the match. Well how about driving a 270-yard par-four into the wind and over the water? It's this type of exciting golf that makes match play so appealing.
Ultimately it was Dustin who came out on top on the final green, completing a career WGC grand slam in the process - the first man to do so. He played some remarkable golf throughout the week, never finding himself behind in any given match. It'll take a brave man to bet against the American winning the Masters considering he's won each of his last three outings, but there are others out there who will give him a run for his money at Augusta.
