VOLVO WORLD MATCH PLAY CHAMPIONSHIP DAY 2 REPORT

STENSON'S STUNNING PERFORMANCE 

EUROPEAN TOUR COMMUNICATIONS
Pre-tournament favourite Henrik Stenson produced a stunning performance on day two of the Volvo World Match Play Championship, covering his last nine holes in eight under par to see off Francesco Molinari 2 and 1.

The Swede was three down after four holes against Molinari, but rallied in emphatic fashion to register his first victory of the week at London Golf Club, having halved his opening match with George Coetzee on day one.

Coetzee himself remains unbeaten after defeating last year’s finalist Thongchai Jaidee 2&1, whilst the most exciting finish of the day came in the Pablo Larrazábal versus Stephen Gallacher match, which went the Spaniard’s way after he chipped in from the rough for a dramatic birdie on the 18th hole.
In the same group, Frenchman Victor Dubuisson has already qualified for the quarter finals after dispatching Shane Lowry 3 and 2.The Mark McCormack Group is on a knife edge with all four players on two points, after Jamie Donaldson beat Jonas Blixt 3 and 2 and Patrick Reed defeated Paul Casey 2 and 1.
