GOLF ROUNDUP Fowler wins to secure weekend spot Comment By The Associated Press MailTribune.com By The Associated Press Posted Apr. 30, 2015 at 8:43 PM By The Associated Press Posted Apr. 30, 2015 at 8:43 PM » Social News SAN FRANCISCO — Masters champion Jordan Spieth and Rickie Fowler were making putts from everywhere Thursday in the Match Play Championship. Fowler survived a tough match and already secured his spot for the weekend. Spieth rolled to another easy victory and still faces the prospect of going home on today. Even with a round-robin format, this World Golf Championship added another layer of quirkiness. Spieth, top-seeded Rory McIlroy, Gary Woodland and Bubba Watson are all 2-0 and face elimination matches. Fowler and John Senden have won their groups and next play what amounts to a practice round in the middle of a tournament. And there will be eight matches — including Jimmy Walker against Ian Poulter — that are meaningless. Fowler was all square in his match with Shane Lowry of Ireland when he made putts of 15, 18 and 30 feet — all to halve the hole — before making a birdie on the 18th to win his second match and lock up the best record in his group to advance. "Definitely a stress reliever right there," Fowler said. "Must be nice," Spieth said under his breath with a smile when told that Fowler was already in the round of 16. The 21-year-old Texan had little room to talk. He is looking as dominant as his week at Augusta National, finishing off a 4-and-3 victory over hard-luck Matt Every with 10 straight one-putt greens that totaled about 120 feet. Four of those putts were to halve the hole, including a 20-footer at No. 8 and an 18-footer at No. 14 that swirled around the cup. "After the one on No. 8 (20 feet), which was to tie the hole, he said, 'When are you going to stop doing that?'" Spieth said. "And then after I made the par putt on 14 (18 feet for a halve), I could see he was upset. And if I were in his position, I would have been very upset. Because that was bogus." Lee Westwood escaped with a 1-up victory when Mikko Ilonen missed a 4-foot putt. Westwood also is 2-0 and will play Spieth today to determine who advances. "It's going to be hard to keep making this many putts and this many birdies," Spieth said. "And I feel like I'm truly going to need that to beat him." McIlroy went the distance to beat Brandt Snedeker, while Billy Horschel had no trouble dispatching Jason Dufner. McIlroy and Horschel are both 2-0 and play today to determine who advances. LPGA NORTH TEXAS SHOOTOUT:  At Irving, Texas, Lydia Ko had a triple bogey after losing a ball in a pine tree and dropped three more strokes on the next two holes to put her career-long LPGA Tour cuts streak in jeopardy in the North Texas Shootout. Ko finished with a 4-over 75 at Las Colinas, leaving the top-ranked New Zealander nine strokes behind leaders Juli Inkster, Cristie Kerr and Sydnee Michaels. The 18-year-old Ko had the triple bogey on the par-4 14th, followed with a double bogey on the par-4 15th and a bogey on the par-4 16th. The 54-year-old Inkster also shared the first-round lead last week in California and ended up tying for 15th. She won the last of her 31 tour titles in 2006. WEB.COM UNITED LEASING: At Newburgh, Ind., Ashland's Jason Allred shot a first-round 74 and was in a tie for 58th place in the United Leasing Championship on the Web.com Tour at Victoria National Golf Club. Allred started on the back nine and made the turn at 3 over after a double bogey and bogey. He had an eagle and a birdie on his second nine to finish 2 over par. Tag Ridings chalked up nine birdies en route to a wind-blown 67 and the lead. Ridings turned an up-and-down round into something much better by closing his day with four consecutive birdies on the difficult layout.
