Tiger Woods return to tournament golf was short lived as Tim Clark defeated him by 4&2 in round 2 of the Accenture World Match Play in Arizona yesterday. After Tiger's easy victory on Wednesday, things got a little tougher yesterday, and although he played some good golf he seemed to lack the competitive edge that comes with playing every week.
In saying that, Clark thoroughly deserved his win, playing steady golf all day. As far as Woods is concerned, I would expect normal service to be resumed sooner rather than later.
Elsewhere in the field, there were some big wins for Ross Fisher (6&5) over Pat Perez, Paul Casey (6&4) over Mathew Goggin and Camilo Villegas claimed victory over Miguel Angel Jiminez by 5&4.
There were extra hole wins for Geoff Ogilvy and Luke Donald respectively, over Shingo Katayama and Vijay Singh. And Stewart Cink had to go to the 23rd hole to see off Lee Westwood.
Some good ties in prospect today, with the pick being Phil Mickelson against Stewart Cink and Rory McIlroy versus Tim Clark.
