Round of 16 match previews http://www.worldgolfchampionships.com/cadillac-match-play/news/2015/05/01/match-preview-saturday.html
Rory McIlroy (3-0) vs. Hideki Matsuyama (3-0), 11:14 a.m. If McIlroy is to win the Cadillac Match Play he'll likely need to make more birdies over what could be four more matches this weekend. In his first three bouts in pool play, the Northern Irishman has only made nine birdies -- but at the same time dropped just one shot to par.
Paul Casey (3-0) vs. Charl Schwartzel (3-0), 11:02 a.m Casey has a pair of runner-up finishes at the Cadillac Match Play, losing in the title match to Geoff Ogilvy in 2009 and Ian Poulter the following year. He has a 19-9 record overall but after battling injuries and tumbling in the world rankings, Casey is returning to the competition for the first time since 2011.
Jim Furyk (2-1) vs. J.B. Holmes (2-1), 10:38 a.m. Furyk and Holmes finished their third matches on Friday and had to await the outcome of the other match in their pools. Both had PGA TOUR victories in April -- Holmes taking the Shell Houston Open in a playoff and Furyk winning the RBC Heritage in his most recent start to snap a drought of nearly five years.
Rickie Fowler (3-0) vs. Louis Oosthuizen (3-0), 10:50 a.m Fowler knew he was mathematically guaranteed a spot in the Round of 16 before he played on Friday while Oosthuizen controlled his own destiny against two-time Masters champ Bubba Watson. Both ended pool play unbeaten with Fowler's Cadillac record improving to 10-4 and Oosthuizen's to 8-5
Marc Leishman (3-0) vs. Gary Woodland (3-0), 9:50 a.m. Woodland and Leishman are in uncharted territory right now. Neither had won a match in this competition prior to this year -- exiting in the first round twice for Woodland and once for the Aussie.
John Senden (3-0) vs. Hunter Mahan (3-0), 10:02 a.m. Mahan, who ranks 32nd, came out of the B group. But he has reached the title tilt at the Cadillac Match Play two times and won it once. Senden knows what a formidable opponent he faces in Mahan -- a veteran of four Presidents Cups and two Ryder Cups.
Lee Westwood (3-0) vs. Danny Willett (3-0), 10:26 a.m. Westwood could even his Cadillac Match Play record at 15-all with a win Saturday morning against the unheralded Willett. This is Westwood's 14th appearance in the event while his British countryman is making his debut. Both Westwood and Willett have wins in 2015. The 28-year-old Willett made the Nedbank Challenge his second European Tour victory while Westwood, who has 43 wins worldwide, captured his third Indonesian Masters on the Asian Tour last weekend.
Tommy Fleetwood (2-1) vs. Branden Grace (2-1), 10:14 a.m Like Willett, Fleetwood is making his Cadillac Match Play debut. He's been nothing if not determined this week, winning his final two matches in sudden death and holding the edge on top-seeded Sergio Garcia until the 14th in his only loss
