A couple of impressive wins yesterday for two young European Tour players. Northern Ireland teenager Rory McIlroy and Ross Fisher from England both secured 4 & 3 wins in the Arizona desert yesterday.
McIlroy, who is playing his first tournament in America since turning professional, dominated his match against Tim Clark, who in the previous round had beaten world number 1 Tiger Woods. The Irishman is showing a lot of maturity for his age and never looked in danger against the South African.
Fisher had victory over former US Open champion Jim Furyk, a day after Furyk himself had a crushing victory of 6 & 5 over fellow American Pat Perez. Fisher was three up at the turn and eventually sealed the win at the 15th.
There were also victories for Ernie Els (2up ) over Luke Donald, Stewart Cink (1up ) over Phil Mickelson, 2 & 1 wins for Geoff Ogilvy and Sean O'Hair over Camilo Villegas and Ian Poulter respectively, Justin Leonard beat Oliver Wilson at the 19th and Paul Casey beat Peter Hansen by 3 & 2.
Quarter- finals and semi-finals are played tomorrow ( Saturday ).
