Graeme McDowell vs. 10. Ross Fisher - Hogan
Accenture Match Play records: McDowell is 2-4. Fisher is 5-3
Fisher may have reached the consolation final in 2009 but McDowell is playing better this year. Look for the Northern Irishman to prevail in this match of Ryder Cup teammates.
Stewart Cink vs. 11. Y.E. Yang - Hogan
Accenture Match Play records: Cink is 22-11. Yang is 2-2
Cink always seems to kick it up a notch, as evidenced by Wednesday's gritty upset of defending champion Ian Poulter. Cink hasn't been playing as well as he'd like but this week could turn the season around.
Paul Casey vs. 10. Jason Day - Snead
Accenture Match Play records: Casey is 16-8. Day is 2-3
Casey had a surprisingly close match with Richard Green in the opening round. But he's already won once this year and brings a ton of confidence to the table are runner-up finishes the last two years.
Ernie Els vs. 6. J.B. Holmes - Snead
Accenture Match Play records: Els is 10-10. Holmes is 1-1
Els showed no lingering effects from the neck injury that sidelined him last week as he rallied from 3 down to win. But Holmes shot 6 under on a course he had never seen before so he could be tough.
Matteo Manassero vs. 7. Charl Schwartzel - Jones
Accenture Match Play records: Manassero is 1-0. Schwartzel is 4-2
Schwartzel dispatched one teen in the opening round and now gets another. Judging from the way he handled world No. 8 Steve Stricker, though, Manassero figures to be a challenge.
Luke Donald vs. 6. Edoardo Molinari - Jones
Accenture Match Play records: Donald is 11-6. Molinari is 1-1
Donald didn't make a bogey as he took a lopsided first-round victory, and his Ryder Cup teammate proved to be a birdie machine, making seven on Wednesday. The hot putter will prevail.
Rory McIlroy vs. 10. Ben Crane - Player
Accenture Match Play records: McIlroy is 5-2. Crane is 5-3
Both players won by 4 and 2 margins in the first round; McIlroy over Jonathan Byrd and Crane taking down Adam Scott. This match will be a contrast in styles of the excitable Northern Irishman and steady American.
Ryan Palmer vs. 6. Miguel Angel Jimenez - Player
Accenture Match Play records: Palmer is 1-0. Jimenez is 7-9
If experience is the key, then this match should go to the Spaniard they call "The Mechanic." But Palmer had to gain confidence from his upset win over Jim Furyk so he could surprise.
Phil Mickelson vs. 8. Rickie Fowler - Hogan
Accenture Match Play records: Mickelson is 16-10. Fowler is 1-0
Mickelson had an easy time in his first round match while Fowler won 1 up. Mickelson's putter has been suspect of late but he was bogey free on Wednesday while Fowler made five and survived.
Matt Kuchar vs. 12. Bo Van Pelt - Hogan
Accenture Match Play records: Kuchar is 2-1. Van Pelt is 1-0
There's not a lot of match play experience in this group. But Van Pelt claimed a big one in beating Louis Oosthuizen and Kuchar showed his toughness in going 22 holes against Peter Hansen.
Thomas Bjorn vs. 8. Geoff Ogilvy - Snead
Accenture Match Play records: Bjorn is 5-6. Ogilvy is 19-3
Bjorn earned Wednesday's headlines when he upset Tiger Woods in 19 holes. But there are those who would say Ogilvy is an even more formidable foe given his two wins in this tournament in the desert.
Mark Wilson vs. 5. Bubba Watson - Snead
Accenture Match Play records: Wilson is 1-0. Watson is 1-0
This could be a good one. Both players have won this year -- Wilson actually taking two titles -- and their styles are contrasting. Watson weilds the big stick while Wilson's short game is stellar.
Lee Westwood vs. 8. Nick Watney - Jones
Accenture Match Play records: Westwood is 7-11. Watney is 3-1
The world No. 1 could be ripe for the upset. After all he has never advanced past the second round. Watney is confident after a second-round upset of Westwood last year and comes is playing extremely well with nothing lower than a tie for sixth in three starts this year.
K.J. Choi vs. 12. Ryan Moore - Jones
Accenture Match Play records: Choi is 6-7. Moore is 1-1
Both players should be on top of their games after top-10s on Sunday at the Northern Trust Open. Choi has more experience, though, which could pay off in a tight match.
Martin Kaymer vs. 9. Justin Rose - Player
Accenture Match Play records: Kaymer is 3-3. Rose is 5-5
The road gets tougher for the German, who breezed through his opening match. Rose will need to call on all his experience, though, to upset the man many think is playing the best golf in the world.
Robert Karlsson vs. 5. Hunter Mahan - Player
Accenture Match Play records: Karlsson is 2-5. Mahan is 3-3
Hard to belive but the Swedish veteran has never gotten past the second round. Neither has Mahan but he's playing the best with two top-10s, including second at Pebble Beach two weeks ago.
