AUSTIN, Texas – An event that had no interest in chalk for the first three days became somewhat predictable Saturday at the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play.
After just a single player from the top 20 advanced to the knockout stages, the Sweet 16 featured seven matches going to the higher-seeded player, including Jon Rahm (No. 3), who is the only player from the “A group” remaining.
Rahm defeated Erik van Rooyen, 3 and 2, to advance to the Elite 8 for the second time in his career and he’ll play Scottie Scheffler in the afternoon quarterfinal round.
