Australian golfer Jason Day has entered the semi-finals for the second year running at the World Golf Championships (WGC)-Match Play Championship after beating South African Louis Oosthuizen in the quarter-finals on Saturday.
The world No.11 is now just two wins away from a 1.53 million US dollars payday and would catapult to world No.4 spot if he claimed the trophy.
According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Day clinched the match on the 17th green with a par after holding the lead from the fifth hole and prevailed 2 and 1 against the No. 35 ranked Oosthuizen in a quality contest.
Day will now play American Rickie Fowler who beat countryman Jim Furyk 1-up, the report further said.
Meanwhile, the report added that in the remaining quarterfinals South African Ernie Els leads over American Jordan Spieth 1-up through 11 holes and Frenchman Victor Dubuisson leads Northern Irish Graeme McDowell 1-up through 10 holes.
