A day of dominance and 生き残り at Match Play
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - Dustin Johnson and Phil Mickelson showed the simple 味方する to the Dell 科学（工学）技術s Match Play. For three straight days in warmth, 勝利，勝つd or rain, they built 早期に leads and never let anyone get の近くに to them in 前進するing out of their groups to the ノックアウト 行う／開催する／段階.
For just about everyone else, it was a 事柄 of 生き残るing.

Marc Leishman made it to the 一連の会議、交渉／完成する of 16 by playing two 穴を開けるs on Friday. He was awarded a victory because Jason Day withdrew on Wednesday, got a （死）刑の執行猶予（をする） when 物陰／風下 Westwood （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域 Pat Perez to 軍隊 a three-man プレーオフ, and （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域 Westwood on the second 穴を開ける with a 12-foot bir die.
"Pat was either going to （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域 物陰／風下 and I was 飛行機で行くing home tomorrow morning, or I was going to get to play ゴルフ and try to 前進する," Leishman said. "I got the latter and 前進する. So it was a 広大な／多数の／重要な day."
It was an 平易な day for Johnson and Mickelson.
Johnson, the No. 1 seed going for his third straight PGA 小旅行する victory, again won the 開始 穴を開ける and showed why he might be the most 恐れるd player in ゴルフ at the moment. He 発射 30 on the 前線 nine, and all PGA 支持する／優勝者 Jimmy Walker could do was make the match last as long as he could.
Johnson won, 5 and 3, and goes into the 週末 having led after all 46 穴を開けるs he has played this week.
Mickelson only made two birdies, but he had no mistakes and no trouble in a 6-and-5 victory over J.B. Holmes. Mickelson has led 41 of his 42 穴を開けるs this week, and he has played so 井戸／弁護士席 from tee to green - and 特に on the greens - that he has yet to see the 16th, 17th or 18th 穴を開けるs in 競争 at Austin Country Club.
Mickelson 前進するd out of the third 一連の会議、交渉／完成する for the first time since 2004, so long ago that Lefty was known as the best player without a major and Tiger 支持を得ようと努めるd was starting to work with a new swing coach, Hank Haney.
Johnson and Alex Noren (No. 8) were the only 最高の，を越す 10 seeds left going into the 週末. Rory McIlroy (2) was mathematically 除去するd on Thursday; Day (3) withdrew; Hideki Matsuyama (4) didn't 勝利，勝つ a match all week; and Jordan Spieth (5) didn't make it out of group play for the second time in three years.
Justin Thomas (6) also was knocked out. Thomas had a 2-up lead with five 穴を開けるs to play until Matt Fitzpatrick won the next four 穴を開けるs with birdies to 勝利，勝つ the match. That got Fitzpatrick into a プレーオフ with Kevin Na, who had a 4-up lead until Chris 支持を得ようと努めるd won the next six 穴を開けるs and seven out of the next eight.
Their プレーオフ didn't start for two hours, then Na 攻撃する，衝突する a wedge to 3 feet and he 前進するd.
Fitzpatrick didn't even 耐える the greatest 失望／欲求不満. That belonged to Tyrrell Hatton, his fellow Englishman, who lost to Rafa Cabrera Bello to 始める，決める up a three-man プレーオフ of 一打／打撃 play 伴う／関わるing Charles Howell III.
Hatton had a 10-foot putt to 勝利，勝つ on the first extra 穴を開ける, but just 行方不明になるd on the left. When he went to tap in, he 始める，決める his putter 負かす／撃墜する and 軽く押す／注意を引くd the ball. Under a new 地元の 支配する, he could have 取って代わるd it with no 刑罰，罰則. But he tapped in and incurred a two-一打／打撃 刑罰，罰則, and he was walking 支援する to the clubhouse as Cabrera Bello and Howell played on. Howell 負傷させる up winning on the fifth extra 穴を開ける.
Asked if he knew the 支配する, Hatton replied, "I really wasn't thinking at that 行う／開催する／段階."
Sergio Garcia (7) lost in a 戦う／戦い of the Spaniards when rising 星／主役にする Jon Rahm took him 負かす／撃墜する. Garcia at least 供給するd one unforgettable moment when a burst of rain during his tee 発射 on the 13th 穴を開ける 原因（となる）d him to lose his 支配する. The tee 発射 squirted left about 30 feet.
"First, I thought I 行方不明になるd the ball. Second, I thought the club was gone," Garcia said. "Anyway, the match was already in bad 形態／調整 there."
Ross Fisher of England （機の）カム up with another clutch moment. He only 保証するd himself a 位置／汚点／見つけ出す in the Match Play three weeks ago with birdies on his last three 穴を開けるs in Mexico to tie for third and move up in the 最高位の. On Friday, he （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域 Jim Furyk and then 穴を開けるd a 20-foot birdie putt to （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域 Louis Oosthuizen in a プレーオフ.
Reaching the 一連の会議、交渉／完成する of 16 leaves him a good chance to be in the 最高の，を越す 50 in the world at the end of the week and get into the Masters.
And now, everyone starts with a clean 予定する.
It's 選び出す／独身-排除／予選 the 残り／休憩（する） of the way, starting with the fourth 一連の会議、交渉／完成する and 準々決勝 on Saturday.
