Henry Shimp lost 2 and 1. He was playing from behind most of the match but had tied it up on 15. He then lost 16 (he bogeyed) and 17 (opponent birdied). BTW, does anybody know if he is pulling an Anna Wilson and coming back for a 6th year?
Michael Thorbjornsen won his match 2 and 1. He also was playing from behind most of the match, but birdied 5 holes in a row to go from 3 down to his 2 and 1 margin of victory. Wow!
Thor is currently 1 up early in his second round of match play.
Thorbjornsen's 5 hole run was the best stretch of play in the tournament to date by anyone. Really impressive. Enjoy this video, especially the 4 iron he stings from 227 yards at the 16th hole. No pro would have done it better.
