WGC Match Play: Breaking down the semifinalists

SAN FRANCISCO — It's obvious that each of the four semifinalists have played well this week to progress through five rounds of the WGC-Cadillac Match Play. But how have they done it, or, more precisely, where have they made hay this week at the TPC Harding Park?

With the Rory McIlroy vs. Paul Casey match postponed due to darkness, here is an analysis of the other three semifinalists: Gary Woodland, Danny Willett and Jim Furyk.

Third Round – Defeated Webb Simpson (1 up)

Round of 16 – Defeated Marc Leishman (2 and 1)

Quarterfinals – Defeated John Senden (5 and 3)

Gary Woodland has played 85 holes and hasn’t been down in any match since making a bogey on the par-4 15th hole in Wednesday’s first round against Jimmy Walker.
