Woods will face Charles Howell III in the first round of matches

Sorry this is a bit rushed — I have to catch the last shuttle to the media parking lot, but I wanted to get the brackets/pairings out. I tweeted (crappy-quality) pictures of them and there’s no easy copy and paste format that I’ve seen yet, so I did the best I could below. The tee times and pairings are legible and I did my best with taking screen shots of the brackets. I also included a link so you can download the PDF file for clearer viewing.

There’s plenty to discuss and quite a few fun match-ups. We’ll discuss later. For now, here you go and let’s hear your early predictions.
