Englishman makes last 16; Watney next up after beating Woods
Lee Westwood finally made the last 16 of the Accenture Match Play Championship at the 12th attempt thanks to a solid victory over Robert Karlsson on Thursday.
Needing to win the title on Sunday to regain the world number one spot from the already-departed Luke Donald, the 38-year-old third seed saw off Karlsson 3&2 in the second round at Dove Mountain near Tucson.
And Westwood does not have to face Tiger Woods to make further progress. The three-time winner missed a six-foot birdie putt on the last and went out to fellow American Nick Watney - the man who has defeated Westwood the last two years. Through to the third round as well are Rory McIlroy, also with a chance to go to number one by winning, and Scots Paul Lawrie and Martin Laird, who now go head-to-head for a quarter-final place. - http://www1.skysports.com/
