Duo's absence boosts European hopes in Match Play

Europe provides seven of the top 10 seeds in this week’s WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship after Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson both decided not to play.

The draw has now been confirmed with Lee Westwood seeded second, Martin Kaymer fourth, Rory McIlroy fifth, last year’s runner-up Paul Casey sixth, Henrik Stenson seventh, Padraig Harrington eighth and Ian Poulter ninth.
