On a day dominated by Tiger Woods’ announcement of his press conference tomorrow, the big news on the course at the Match Play Championship in Marana, Ariz. was from Ross McGowan.
After only getting into the 64-man field because Woods isn’t playing, McGowan beat Steve Stricker with a 30-foot pcome only the second player in the 12-year history of the event to beat the No. 1 seed in the first round.
Stricker was the only player among the top four seeds to lose. Lee Westwood controlled his match against fellow Englishman Chris Wood, Jim Furyk went 17 holes before beating Ryder Cup teammate Scott Verplank, and Martin Kaymer beat Chad Campbell.
Japanese teen sensation Ryo Ishikawa won the last three holes for a 2-up win over Michael Sim. Padraig Harrington, the No. 8 seed, couldn’t make a putt and lost to Jeev Milkha Singh of India. Henrik Stenson, the No. 7 seed, conceded his match to Ben Crane because of flu-like symptoms.
