World Golf Championship Match Play event at Austin Country Club in Texas this week.

Quite a few Aussies playing - Adam Scott, Jason Day, Cam Davis, Lucas Herbert and Min Woo Lee.

Good results for the Aussies in Round 1 with only Cam Davis losing his Round 1 match against Xander Schauffele.

Next round commences at 1.30am our time tomorrow morning - all on Kayo.

Min Woo Lee is meant to be the next big thing

Was going well at the Players Championship until the final round

Bring back Craig Parry the super athlete.

He certainly is mate. Hits the ball an amazing length for his build, in Round 1 of this match play, he hit two drives of 350 yards or more. That is just insane. Just needs to be a bit more consistent - wherever there is a birdie or eagle, a bogey or double bogey is just around the corner.

If it was stroke play last night, he would have shot a 66 - 5 under but that contained two eagles and two double bogeys!!

Bring back Craig Parry the super athlete.

Yeah mate, Popeye was great fun!

Round 2 of the Match Play Championship has finished and wins to Aussies Jason Day, Cam Davis and Lucas Herbert. Day and Herbert have two wins now so are in the box seat to progress. Adam Scott, Min Woo Lee and Cam Davis need to win their Round 3 matches to have any chance of progressing.

WGC Match Play ended in a bit of an upset. McIlroy and Scheffler made the semi finals but were beaten by Cam Young and Sam Burns. Burns went on to win the tournament by beating Young 6 & 5.

And in other good news - Min Woo Lee has now received his official invitation to the Masters and will line up in two weeks time on April 6 at Augusta. Last year in his first tilt at the Masters, he finished tied for 14th which was a magnificent effort.

Can he go a few steps closer???

Starts next Friday morning (our time), so if you have nothing to do on the Easter weekend, then why not watch the Masters!

This is also the tournament where LIV golfers are allowed to take part on the PGA tour. So Cameron Smith ($17) is in.

Other Aussies include, Jason Day ($17) , Min Woo Lee ($51) , and Adam Scott ($67).

Tiger Woods is also playing and they have him paying $81 for the win.

Haven't heard much of Day the last few years. Has he been injured?

Yes mate and he lost his Mum who he was really close to. He just hasn't been right mentally.

But he is free of all injuries now and it has been said that his personal issues are now sorted and he is a much better place.

He is starting to show the form that had him at No 1.

Tough conditions at the US PGA in Rochester New York. Also a tough course normally.

After three rounds the leader is Koepka at 6 under.

Nearest Aussie tied for 10th at +1 is Min Woo Lee.

Nearly all the Aussies made the cut but some like Lucas Herbert and Adam Scott are 12 shots from the lead at +6.

Cam Davis is at +2 and Cam Smith is at +4

Jason Day and David Micheluzzi didn’t make the cut.
