Intro:

Victor Dubuisson and Joost Luiten remained unbeaten after the second day of the Volvo World Match Play - but there was a rare defeat for Graeme McDowell.

Script:

French Ryder Cup star Victor Dubuisson made it two wins out of two - once again revelling the matchplay format as he beat Ireland's Shane Lowry 3 and 2.

Pablo Larrazabal conjured a dramatic win over Stephen Gallacher.

All square at the last hole, the Spaniard pitched in from the rough to win 1 up.

Number two seed Graeme McDowell had won 15 of his previous 17 matches at the World Match Play - but slipped to defeat to Mikko Ilonen.

The Finn carded seven birdies to secure his first win of the tournament by a 2 and 1 margin.

Henrik Stenson was three down early on but produced some masterful golf on the back nine to triumph over the Francesco Molinari, ending the Italian’s hopes.

While Patrick Reed needed a positive result over Paul Casey to keep his hopes of advancing alive - and the American delivered a 2 and 1 win to leave the four players in his pool locked together on two points each heading into the final group match.
