Woods, Mickelson advance in Match Play

Tiger Woods and Mickelson move ahead in the Accenture Match Play Championship.
One year after he set a tournament record with a 9-and-8 victory in the opening round, Woods relied on a big par save early and a near ace on the 14th hole to put away Ryder Cup teammate JJ Henry 3 and 2.
"It was actually a pretty tight match," Woods said after the match. Woods advanced to face Tim Clark of South Africa, a 3-and-2 winner over Robert Allenby of Australia.
Fourth-seeded Phil Mickelson got a minor scare, trailing fellow lefty Richard Green of Australia and not taking the lead until the 14th hole. Mickelson won, 1-up, when Green missed a 20-foot birdie putt on the 18 th hole. Jim Furyk, the No 2 seed, also trailed at the turn until making three straight birdies and beating Brett Quigley, 2 and 1.
