After the wave of morning matches, we are down to our final four: Ian Poulter, Camilo Villegas, Sergio Garcia, and Paul Casey. All players are very prominent in the golfing world, but Paul still has the best chance to win as he steamrolled through his match again.
Ian Poulter vs. Thongchai Jaidee
This was the closest match of the morning, and Thongchai actually led more holes than Ian did, with the pair going back and forth from one up (advantage Thongchai) and all square throughout majority of the match. However, after a birdie by Poulter on the 15th to bring the match back to all square, he grabbed a birdie on the par five 17th to obtain the lead for the first time in the match. Jaidee failed to answer on the 18th and Ian Poulter wins, one up.
Camilo Villegas vs. Retief Goosen
Camilo controlled this match from the start, jumping to the lead on the very first hole and leading four up after nine holes. Once in that position, Villegas simply had to hold his ground, and he comes out on top, four up with three to play.
Sergio Garcia vs. Oliver Wilson
Sergio had the early lead as well, up by as much as three through the first six holes. Oliver, however cut into the lead and Sergio was only leading one up when they made the turn. On the back nine however, Garcia kept the heat coming, birdieing 10 and stringing up birdies on 13 and 14. Garcia wins, four and three.
Paul Casey vs. Stewart Cink
Paul Casey's romp continues as he puts together his fourth straight five and four victory. Casey was one up through five holes before he blitzed Cink with three straight birdies. Paul gave one back with a bogey on 11, but was never in any danger as he paired up birdies on the next two holes. Again, Casey is the one to watch for as he has easily been the best player thus far in the tournament.
The afternoon matches will be: Paul Casey vs. Camilo Villegas and Ian Poulter vs. Sergio Garcia. It's going to be exciting to say the least.
