Korea’s Choi Kyung-ju advanced to the quarter-finals of the WGC – Accenture Match Play Championship after defeating Paul Casey by two-up to set up a titanic encounter with world number one, Tiger Woods of the US on Friday.
 
Choi, who won the Sony Open in Hawaii last month, birdied his first three holes to build a big lead over Casey and was three-up through seven holes after making an eagle.
 
The 37-year-old Korean star then fired 10 straight pars and a closing birdie after the turn to outlast Casey at The Gallery Golf Club at Dove Mountain.    
 
Tiger Woods defeated Aaron Baddeley to book his spot in the quarter finals while Vijay Singh of Fiji, will be up against Justin Leonard after he rallied from two-down with two holes to play to beat Rod Pampling on the 25th hole.
