Re: Ivey vs. Corey Pavin golf bet
[ QUOTE ]
Theres a BIIIIG difference between getting to hit each shot 2 times, and getting to hit each shot 3 times. I find it hard to imagine anyone with a handicap below 30 would lose with 3 shots.

Absolutely correct about the importance of whether it's 2 or 3. I question, though, whether a +30 is capable of winning.
At +15 (usually breaks 90), Ivey is capable of hitting every shot he needs. Not consistently in a regular round, but mulligans ("do-overs") make it a whole new game.
Pavin's not long enough off the tee to give him much advantage. Accurate and consistent, yes. He'll put his wedge shots closer, usually. Just-off and/or around the green shots will be major factors in outcome. Putting, time and time and time again will (as usual in golf) decide more than just a few holes.
