Tiger Woods finally faced Rory McIlroy in a head-to-head match, but it was only one of six intense battles between some of the best golfers in the world.

Woods only needed to play slightly above average to take the win and advance to the semifinals.

 

Charl Schwartzel def. Matt Kuchar






Schwartzel continued his solid run by going undefeated through the group stage. His third win was his most impressive, finishing with an eight-under 63.
