Vijay, Tiger, Phil go down at U.S. Open
CARLSBAD, Calif. — Vijay Singh, Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson all went down in surprising losses Friday in the Match Play Championship.
The highest seed remaining after a wild day at La Costa was U.S. Open champion Retief Goosen, who rallied from 3 down with eight holes to play and beat Chad Campbell on the 19th hole.
Woods had won 13 consecutive matches during his two-year reign of the Accenture Match Play Championship before losing in the second round to Australia’s Nick O’Hern, 3 and 1. O’Hern later advanced to the fourth round, beating Luke Donald 5 and 4.
Singh has never advanced beyond the second round at this event, and 51-year-old Jay Haas extended that dubious streak with a 3-and-2 victory. Chris DiMarco later ousted Haas, 2 and 1.
Mickelson at least made the third round before bowing out to David Toms, 4 and 2. Sixth-seeded Sergio Garcia also went home, losing to Adam Scott, 4 and 3. No. 8 Stewart Cink advanced to the fourth round by edging Davis Love III in 20 holes.
Calvacecchia leads Chrysler Classic
TUCSON, Ariz. — Mark Calcavecchia made a 50-foot eagle putt on the next-to-last hole to vault over Billy Mayfair and into the lead of the Chrysler Classic of Tucson at 15-under 129.
Calcavecchia, who started on the back nine, also had five birdies on the way to a 65. Mayfair shot a 67 early in the round and sat atop the leaderboard most of the day before Calcavecchia’s gem on No. 8.
Gavin Coles, Aussie Geoff Ogilvy and Lucas Glover were two shots off the pace after shooting 65, 66 and 67, respectively.
Kevin Sutherland shot a 63 and joined Doug Barron, Esteban Toledo, Joe Ogilvie and Steve Stricker at 132.
McKnight beats the rain
LUTZ, Fla. — Tom Mc-Knight birdied three straight holes before lightning and heavy rain suspended play during the first round of the Outback Steakhouse Pro-Am.
McKnight was 4-under through 13 holes. Don Reese also was 4-under through 13, and John Harris was 4-under through 11 with four birdies and no bogeys.
Only 40 of the 76 pros, paired with amateur partners for the first 36 holes, were able to begin the round before play was stopped.
Miyazato leads ANZ Ladies Master
GOLD COAST, Australia — Japan’s Ai Miyazato shot a 4-under 68 to take a four- stroke lead after two rounds of the ANZ Ladies Masters.
Miyazato, who tied the course record at Royal Pines on Thursday with a 63, had a two-round total of 13-under 131.
