Donald Wins Golf's Fifth Major!

Yep, this week was that good in terms of quality play, compelling match-ups and result. The new world No. 1 lost to a consistent, if sometimes frustratingly talented Englishman. But Donald played superior golf all five days, eliminating the supposed fluky nature of running into a buzzsaw. (And it's worth noting that the other two semi-finalists have been playing at an elite level over the last year.)

Sure, the course is dreadful in terms of producing atmosphere and risk-reward situations, but it's not so horrid that it gets in the way of quality play.

From a fan's perspective, the match play has never been better. In terms of daily must-see golf with an interactive twist for fans (nice going Golfweek!), every day was must-see TV. It didn't hurt that there was a fun mix of storylines and a little controversy. Shoot, the match play is my fifth major! Check that, the PGA Championship is in serious decline. The match play's better!

More importantly, how did you do in your Golfweek bracket? I had Kaymer, but my dismal early week performance would not have been enough to overcome had he won.
