I recently finished reading the book The Match by Mark Frost.
In it, the author tells the story of the legendary impromtu match between Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson against Ken Venturi and Harvie Ward at Cypress Point in 1956 (both Hogan and Nelson were 43 at the time).
Since I am a big Ben Hogan-phile, I found the book fascinating, and it got me thinking about who might be involved in such a match if it were held today.
Tom Watson and Fred Couples against Rory McIlroy and Anthony Kim ? How do you think that would turn out ?
What Match would you arrange between experience vs. youth if you had the power to do do ?

golfchannel was talking about something similar to this yesterday ... asking if there's a changing of the guard ... wondering if people would prefer to watch rory v ryo ... or tiger v phil ... etc ... for me it's a long way off before i'd be more interested in rory v ryo over tiger v phil ..
