McIlroy, Spieth remain on course at Match Play
Print Edition
WORLD No. 1 Rory McIlroy and Masters champion Jordan Spieth maintained their perfect starts to the WGC-Championship Match Play on Thursday to stay firmly on course for a place in the last 16.
Northern Irishman McIlroy, an easy winner in his opening group game on Wednesday, defeated Brandt Snedeker by 2-up at San Francisco’s Harding Park to make it two victories out of two at the lucrative US$9.25 million event.
The 25-year-old superstar will now face his 2007 Walker Cup rival Billy Horschel with a place in the knockout rounds on offer. Horschel joined McIlroy at the top of Group 1 after notching his second win, beating Jason Dufner 3&2.
The game between McIlroy and Horschel will revive memories of their ill-tempered duels in the Walker Cup eight years ago but the two men have since moved on and are on friendly terms.
Second seed Spieth meanwhile trailed early against world No. 41 Matt Every but soon turned things around to wrap up a convincing 4&3 win. The American will face England’s Lee Westwood next.
