Tiger Woods took advantage of the uneven play by the youngest competitor in the field to win his opening match Wednesday at the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play in Austin, Texas.
“I’ve played a lot of matches over the years, and this is definitely one of the most emotional matches,” Woods told the Golf Channel after securing his win when Wise three-putted the 17th hole. “I was up early, then I’m down, then I’m up. There was just a lot of ebb and flow to this match. It wasn’t as though we were both playing great golf, but somehow I came out with the win.”
No. 5 seed Justin Thomas was a 3 and 2 loser to Denmark’s Lucas Bjerregaard , No. 9 Xander Schauffele escaped No. 62 Lee Westwood 1-up, No. 52 Jim Furyk came from behind to upset Australia’s Jason Day 2-up and defending champ Bubba Watson lost to No. 57 Kevin Na in a bizarre turn of events. No. 2 Justin Rose of England was a 2-and-1 winner over Argentina’s Emiliano Grillo , American Bryson DeChambeau handled Scotland’s Russell Knox 3 and 1 and Italy’s seventh-seeded Francesco Molinari dominated Japan’s Satoshi Kodaira 5 and 4.
