Rory McIlroy will definitely repeat as match play champ -- because a goat picked him to win

Put down those PGA Tour media guides. Stop looking up stats. This week's WGC-Dell Match Play winner will be Rory McIlroy. Guaranteed.

Why? Because a goat said so. Well, a goat predicted him to win. Sort of.

The PGA Tour had Divot the goat pick this year's winner at Austin Country Club. Check out the funny video:

Divot paused a moment when selecting which group the champ will come from, but once he (is Divot a he?) did, Divot made a bee-line for that group's A player. Smart goat.

Regardless of how this turns out, it's pretty amazing that faced with 64 different options, Divot picked the defending champ. Unless the PGA Tour sprinkled especially good-tasting grain in those spots.
