The semifinals of the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Match Play are over, with Jim Furyk taking on Rory McIlroy at TPC Harding Park and Danny Willett  playing Gary Woodland .

Woodland beat Willett 3 &2 with a stretch of 3 birdies at 6, 7 and 8 and his opponent will be Rory McIlroy who was 1 down with 3 to play, After they halved the 16th with birdies, Rory hit his best shot of the match at the par 3 17th, 194 yard 7 iron to 3 feet, and after Furyk missed his long birdie attempt, Rory made his to square the match.

On the par 5 18th Rory overplayed his fade but found a nice lie in the rough, 231 yards away while Furyk was just off the fairway in the first cut. Furyk missed the green in deep rough and chipped out long while Rory's 5 wood found the green, 35 feet away in 2. He promptly holed the putt to win with an eagle
 
Earlier in the morning McIlroy defeated Paul Casey in the continuation of a playoff that started Saturday night. Both players drove well down the fairways on the par 5 1st, Rory was short in two but chipped up close. Paul's 3rd went into a tough lie behind the green and unfortunately he stubbed the chip. Rory made his birdie putt for the win.

Now it is Furyk and Willett in the consolation and Rory and Woodland for the title..
