Pairing up with Thomas once again, they'll take on Byeong-Hun An and Hideki Matsuyama in the fourth match of the day.Woods was the form player for the visitors on day one, his six birdies a big factor as he and Thomas closed out Marc Leishman and Joaquin Niemann 4&3."I was surprised by that. Tiger definitely created a tone, but I was surprised there was nothing beyond that for the rest of the team," Appleby said.
"We could quite easily have lost two more matches, so this is a dream scenario for everyone.

Els has totally revamped his pairings for day two, not keeping a single combination together from the opening day, with Adam Scott and Louis Oosthuizen to lead off against Dustin Johnson and Matt Kuchar.
