Golf News | Casey and Montgomerie represent Brits after WGC second round

The only Britons to make it through to the second round of the WGC Match Play were Paul Casey and Colin Montgomerie.

To reach this position Montgomerie came from behind to take victory over Charles Howell at the final hole in Tucson. In another all-British match, English Paul Casey suffered a slow start in his meet with the Welshman Bradley Dredge only to recover and take the match.

Stars of the tournament, Ian Poulter, Lee Westwood and Luke Donald all lost but were in good company with Phil Mickelson, the world’s number 2 ranked golfer was beaten by Australia's Stuart Appleby.

Tiger Woods took a comfortable lead over Arron Oberholser to the sixteenth hole where the number 1 achieved another triumph.

Though a close game, Englishman Poulter, having fought back from three down after 14 holes, lost to KJ Choi, by bogeying the first extra hole to the South Korean's par.

Fellow Englishman Westwood was behind throughout his game with Justin Leonard, compatriot Donald too saw no gain over Angel Cabrera in his defeat by the US Open champion.

Montgomerie took the lead from Howell on the back nine gaining himself the advantage enough to take the game. Now he will take on Stewart Cink on Friday, the American came from a disadvantage against Open champion Padraig Harrington.

Australia's Aaron Baddeley took an early position of success with his opponent in the second round David Toms having to withdraw through a back injury.
