Tiger 2 up thru 4; Mickelson in position at 18

Tiger Woods first two holes went something like this:

Fairway. Four feet on green. Birdie.
Fairway. Three feet on green. Eagle.

Brendan Jones first two holes went something like this:

Missed Fairway. Nervous Chip Shot. Bogey.
Missed Fairway. More Nerves. 2-Down

Tiger is 2 up thru four holes at the Accenture Match Play Championships while Phil Mickelson is in the match of the day against Angel Cabrera, where the players were all square on the 18th fairway. Cabrera has made three straight birdies to even Mickelson, but just hit it in the front bunker, while Mickelson has left himself 70 feet for birdie on the green.

You do not want to be Jones right now in this match against Tiger. Going 2 down, in addition to your nerves, is obviously a terrible spot to be.

Also, Cedar Rapids native Zach Johnson has stuffed it to three feet at No. 17 and he's already leading 2 up in his match. Looks like it could be all over and a strong opening win for ZJ.
