There will be no repeat this weekend at the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play in Austin, Texas this year.
Defending champion Bubba Watson was eliminated from reaching the weekend after losing his match to Billy Horschel, 2&1 Thursday.
That dropped Watson to 0-2 in group play after a 1UP loss to Kevin Na Wednesday, eliminating his chances of moving on to single-elimination.
He’ll stick around Friday for his final match against Jordan Spieth, who beat Kevin Na Thursday.
Among the other big names bounced mathematically from advancing to Round 3 on Thursday were Jason Day and Phil Mickelson.
Mickelson lost his “Battle of the Aged” to fellow 48-year-old golfer Jim Furyk 1UP in a match that was either all square or had Furyk in the lead for the final 17 holes. Furyk has found his game of late and is coming off a second-place Players Championship finish to Rory McIlroy.
Day struggled Wednesday and Thursday and appeared not to be 100 percent physically. Day was bounced 4&3 by Henrik Stenson after being defeated by Furyk 2UP on Wednesday.
Tiger Woods lost his match to Brandt Snedeker Thursday and is 1-1. He can still advance to the weekend with a victory over Patrick Cantlay Friday, or with a tie and some help.
