The 64-player showdown at Austin Country Club uses a round-robin format to determine 16 players for a weekend knockout event to decide a champion.
WASHINGTON - Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and world number one Dustin Johnson were among the top seeds and past champions to capture opening group stage matches on Wednesday at the WGC Match-Play Championship.
“We were both struggling a little bit,” Woods said. “It was just trying to beat the guy in front of you and I was able to advance.” Fourth seed McIlroy, the 2015 WGC Match-Play winner coming off a Players Championship victory two weeks ago, downed US 64th and last seed Luke List 5&4. “I needed to respond to what he did, and I feel like I did that well so that gives me a little bit of confidence going into tomorrow.”
“I was fairly steady. I didn’t give away much, took care of the par-5s for the most part,” Rose said. “Not electrifying golf but just good enough to get the job done.”
