Accenture world match-play championship starts

OUT-OF-TOUCH ELS IS KNOCKED
OUT BY WELSHMAN DREDGE

Fifth seed Ernie Els was the first big name to take the knock-out count on the opening day of the Accenture World match-play championship at La Costa Resort near Tucson, Arizona.
The South African's short game - he took four to get down from the front of one green - was abysmal and he lost by 4 and 2 to Welshman Bradley Dredge.
Trevor Immelman, the South African who was the US PGA Tour Rookie of the Year in 2006, cuffed Thomas Bjorn by 6 and 5.
Padraig Harrington won the battle of the Ryder Cup victors, beating Lee Westwood at the 19th.
Stephen Ames (Trinidad & Tobago) was an 8 and 7 winner over Sweden's Robert Karlsson.
Jose-Maria Olazabal won at the 19th against American Paul Goydos.
