Rory McIlroy Advances to WGC Match Play Quarter-Finals with Thrilling Victory Against Lucas Herbert at Austin Country Club
In a nail-biting match, Rory McIlroy emerged victorious over Lucas Herbert in the last 16 of the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play, securing his spot in the quarter-finals. Unable to shake off the tenacious Australian, McIlroy was neck and neck with Herbert until the very end, when Herbert’s errant drive allowed McIlroy to clinch a 2-up win with a perfectly executed chip-up close to the green.
In another dramatic match, Scottie Scheffler rallied back from two points behind to overcome JT Poston, securing his place in the quarter-finals. Scheffler will now face off against Jason Day, who defeated the talented Matt Kuchar in his match. McIlroy’s next opponent will be Xander Schauffele and Cameron Young will take on Kurt Kitayama, while Sam Burns will face off against Mackenzie Hughes in the other last-eight match.
