Tiger Woods in command at World Match Play, Phil Mickelson not so much

MARANA, Ariz. (Feb. 21, 2008) - You didn’t think that Tiger Woods would struggle for two days in a row, did you?

Tiger’s showing how deadly J.B. Holmes’ merry first-round loss figures to be for the rest of the field in the WGC Accenture Match Play Championship. He’s making rather methodical work of second round foe Arron Oberholser - who broke Canada’s heart when he squashed that Woods-Weir President’s Cup rematch. Tiger’s three up with four holes to go.

Phil Mickelson - the no-practice round man - on the other hand is getting all he can handle a few holes back from Stuart Appleby. That match is all square going into the last six holes.

The best third-round matchup may have already been set though. Woody Austin and Boo Weekley (who took out the ever smug Sergio Garcia 3-and-1) will play Friday in a matchup of true American originals.
