Woods advances, 2 and 1, after McIlroy melts down late

AUSTIN, Texas — Tiger Woods moved on the quarterfinals of the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play on Saturday with a wild 2-and-1 win over Rory McIlroy in the Round of 16.

"Well, we had some interesting conditions today," Woods said on the 17th green during a post-round interview with Golf Channel's Steve Sands.

Three up through 10, Woods saw his lead shrink to one when a cold front came barreling through Austin Country Club, bringing rain and severe winds.

McIlroy took the par-5 12th with a birdie and did the same at 13, when the weather arrived in full force.
