MARANA:
Luke Donald and Louis Oosthuizen followed Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods out of the World Golf Championships Match Play Championship on Friday with second-round defeats. American Scott Piercy thumped England’s world number three Donald 7 and 6, taking the lead at the first hole where Donald opened with a double bogey. Piercy won the next two holes with a birdie followed by another bogey from Donald, and went four-up at the fifth when he holed out from more than 200 yards away for an eagle. He sealed the match with one last birdie, sinking a four-footer to close it out at 12. His victory over the 2011 winner of this World Golf Championships event was the most lopsided result of the week so far. “I played well, and he was off a little bit,” said Piercy. “That’s why it looked so one-sided.”
