CARLSBAD, Calif., Feb. 25 (UPI) -- Australian Nick O'Hern led the upset parade by ousting Tiger Woods Friday at the WSG World Match Play Championship.
Only two of the world's top 10 players reached the quarterfinals at the La Costa Resort & Spa after two long rounds of action.
Joining Woods on the sidelines were Vijay Singh, Phil Mickelson, Sergio Garcia and Davis Love III.
O'Hern ousted Woods during the morning, 4 & 3, and then eliminated Mike Donald in the afternoon, 1-up. Singh lost in the morning to Jay Haas and Haas was then eliminated by Chris DiMarco.
Mickelson easily survived his morning match against Angel Cabrera, but then fell to David Toms.
Only Retief Goosen, ranked fifth in the world, and Stewart Cink (No. 8) among the top 10 will play in Saturday's quarterfinals.
The quarterfinal lineup will be DiMarco vs. Cink, Goosen vs. Robert Allenby, O'Hern vs. Ian Poulter and Toms vs. Adam Scott.
Woods had a series of putts skirt the edge of the hole as he had a 13-match winning streak in this event halted. He was the two-time defending champion.
Goosen eliminated Fred Couples and Chad Campbell on Friday.
