ALL five English golfers, including titleholder Ian Poulter, were eliminated at the World Match Play Championship in Casares, Spain, yesterday.
Poulter had gone eight games unbeaten in the prestigious tournament but found Spain's Alvaro Quiros in imperious form, going down 4&3, while compatriot and second seed Justin Rose having humbled Open winner Darren Clarke on Friday was hammered 4&3 by Belgian Nicolas Colsaerts.
Joining Quiros and Colsaerts in the quarterfinals are Northern Ireland's former US Open champion Graeme McDowell, who has a mouthwatering clash with dashing Spaniard Sergio Garcia, after beating Englishman Richard Finch 3&2.
Scotland's rejuvenated 1999 Open champion Paul Lawrie, who looks set for a return to the European Ryder Cup team this year after a 13-year hiatus, strolled to an impressive 5&4 thrashing of veteran Dane Thomas Bjorn.
He will play South African star Retief Goosen - who beat England's Robert Rock 3&2 - for a place in the semifinals.
Garcia, who has like Lawrie shown a return to a semblance of the form that had him up in the world elite until suffering a slide in form three years ago, beat English youngster Tom Lewis, winner of his maiden EPGA title in only his third tournament last year's Portugal Masters, 4&3.
