Irish duo advance to match play last 16

Padraig Harrington and Darren Clarke reached the third round at the Accenture Match Play Championship in California yesterday.

Clarke completed a comprehensive 6&5 win over Germany's Alex Cejka while Harrington was next to go through with a 3&2 win over Bob Estes.

Colin Montgomerie made it four British and Irish players into the last 16, surpassing the previous best of two at the same stage in 2000.
