Horschel, Perez, Scheffler, Kuchar into WGC Match Play semi-finals
Billy Horschel, Victor Perez, Scottie Scheffler and Matt Kuchar into final four at the WGC Match Play at Austin Country Club
Billy Horschel, Victor Perez, Scottie Scheffler and Matt Kuchar will battle out the WGC Match Play at Austin Country Club on Sunday.
Horschel defeated Tommy Fleetwood on the first extra hole after the Englishman sent his tee shot sailing out of bounds on the par-5 12th, and it meant a par for the American was good enough to win the match.
Fleetwood had been in control for much of the match and had stretched into a 2up lead thru 11 holes, but Horschel clawed his way back into the match when taking the 12th and 17th with birdies.
Horschel then closed out the match with a two-putt par on the 19th hole.
