Day two digest: 2022 WGC - Dell Technologies Match Play

Everything you need to know from day two in Texas.

Perfection was in fashion, Tommy was enjoying the sand, Tyrrell needed a lie down and Lee was giving back on day two of the 2022 WGC - Dell Technologies Match Play.

Here is everything you need to know from Thursday at Austin Country Club.

Delightful dozen stay perfect

Since Dustin Johnson won this title in 2017 as top seed, the next three winners have been seeded 35th, 50th and 32nd but that trend could end this week. After two days, eight of the 16 groups are headed by top seeds and 12 players - six of them top seeds - have undefeated records. The World Number One, Two and Three are all top of their group, but so is World Number 60 Richard Bland. We could have some drama to make the last-16.

They've still got it

In Group Nine on Friday, 49-year-old Bland will take on 48-year-old Lee Westwood, with one of them guaranteed at least a play-off to make the knockout stages. "I'm the young guy. He's the 49-year-old. I'm still 48 for another month," said Westwood. "We played on the same boys' team together, England Boys' Team, so we've known each other a long, long time. It'll be fun to play with him again." Bland added: "Lee's still a class act, always has been, always will be. It should be good fun." It really should.

Inspiring the next generation

Westwood may be part of one of golf's older generations but that does not stop him looking after the next one. Could grow up to be a superstar.

Hatton passes the stress test

Tyrrell Hatton admitted he found match play golf stressful as he moved to within half a point of advancing to the last-16. The Englishman is a two-time Ryder Cup player and has twice advanced from the group stage at Austin Country Club, so his match play credentials are not in doubt. But after a 1 Up win over Si Woo Kim where he had to win the last despite not dropping a shot all day, Hatton revealed he felt the format was a "mental battle". "It's definitely more stressful for me," he said. "Obviously you're playing against one man and it's definitely a mental battle."

Who needs putters?

Certainly not Tommy Fleetwood or Takumi Kanaya.

The fire burns bright

They might be Major Champions and Ryder Cup stars but it's great to see how much these guys care about pulling a win out of the fire when faced with the prospect of going home. That's probably why they're Major Champions and Ryder Cup stars.
