Barely able to see, Rory McIlroy and Paul Casey were forced to return Sunday morning at TPC Harding Park to see who made it to the semifinals of the Match Play Championship in San Francisco.
McIlroy missed from 12 feet on the 18th hole to force a playoff. Casey had a chance to win on the second extra hole when his 18-foot putt stopped one turn short. McIlroy missed from 6 feet on the third extra hole.
They were to resume at 6:45 a.m. Sunday on the par-5 opening hole for the right to play Jim Furyk, the No. 5 seed who reached his first semifinal with a 4-and-2 victory over Louis Oosthuizen of South Africa.
Gary Woodland got up big early against John Senden and coasted to a 5-and-3 victory. He will face Danny Willett of England, who beat his third consecutive countryman with a 4-and-3 win over Tommy Fleetwood.
"I had a couple of opportunities to close it out and couldn't quite convert," McIlroy said. "Come back in the morning and try again."
McIlroy had to cancel his plans to fly to Las Vegas for the Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Manny Pacquiao fight.
