According to the PGA Tour, Rahm’s loss means the semi-finals will not include any of the top-16 seeds for the first time since the event introduced the group-play format in 2015

Scheffler, who ousted No. 60 seed and 2010 champion Ian Poulter of England in the Round of 16 earlier on Saturday, is just the fourth player to make the semi-finals in his first tournament appearance since Austin Country Club began hosting the event in 2016.

The win moved Kuchar to second all-time in matches won at the WGC Match Play with 33. Tiger Woods holds the top spot with 36. “I felt like I played my best golf this morning,” said Perez, who beat No. 41 seed Robert MacIntyre of Scotland, 5 and 4, in the quarter-finals. “And obviously Sergio is such a great match player, nothing is going to be given to you. … Very pleased to get on to Sunday.”

Fleetwood took a 1-up lead with a birdie on No. 9 and held the advantage through No. 16 before Horschel’s birdie at 17 tied the match. Horschel made a par on the par-5 12th hole, the 19th hole of the match, to advance.
