2-2; -0.50pts  (system plays: 1-0-1) 

Day 1 play (2pts):

Paul Casey to beat Alvaro Quiros +108 @ Extrabet [available generally]  LOST 3&1
Current form counts for little in an event like this. Casey is a former winner of this event (2006) and has finished 2nd in the WGC World Matchplay event in both 2009 and 2010; Quiros has exited in the first round of that event in all three of his attempts. He should fare better in Spain, but not so well against such a seasoned matchplayer as Casey.

[unofficial day 1 system play: Molinari tb Poulter +135 (T)]

Day 2 morning play (2pts):

Y.E. Yang to beat Seung-Yul Noh -125 @ Paddy Power [available generally]  LOST 2&1
Opposing Noh who will play two games tomorrow, but will be very short of confidence: he has missed the cut in three of his last four cuts and on the European Tour, he has missed the cuts in each of his last five events this year. Yang didn't play particularly well against Kaymer today, but the quarter-finalist in the WGC World Matchplay should have an easier match against his compatriot and victory should secure his place in the last-16.

[unofficial day 2 morning system play: Colsaerts tb Goosen +150 (W)]

No day 2 afternoon plays.

Day 3 morning play (2pts):

Alvaro Quiros to beat Seung-Yul Noh -138 @ Paddy Power [available generally]  WON 1 hole
Quiros has been far more impressive over his two matches than Noh and, importantly, he has played one match in each of the two days unlike Noh who played 34 holes today. He is also undefeated whereas Noh has already lost one of his two matches so far.

No quarter-final plays.

Semi-final play (2pts):

Luke Donald to beat Martin Kaymer -125 @ William Hill [available generally]  WON 5&3
