Big Break Mesquite – A-God chokes

This season’s third episode of the Big Break Mesquite had to be one of the best that I’ve seen since the Pam vs. Danielle feudin’ days. Or perhaps since Don Donatello thought he could beat the world and wound up eliminated.

Hiroshi and Anthony (aka A-God), the current points leaders, were made captains and they had to choose four other players for their teams. Several guys were praying not to be chosen by A-God. The teams were pitted against each other as follows:

1 – two players from each team would square off in a two hole best ball match;
2 – two players from each team would square off in an alternate shot match;
3 – and finally each of the five players would square off against an opposing player in a singles match for one hole.

This episode also pushed me over the edge to get a DVR as they littered it with commercials. The Ryder Cup format made for some great tv, and The GolfChannel couldn’t have scripted a better ending as A-God had a 5-6 footer to win the hole match and he blew it, leading to sudden death on the next episode with the losing team going into the elimination round.
