Day into Match Play semis after impressive wins Australia's Jason Day powered past Masters champion Bubba Watson and Northern Ireland's Graeme McDowell to secure a berth in the WGC Match Play Championship semi-finals. Day will meet Matt Kuchar in the final four after beating McDowell 1-up in a closely contested quarter-final. Earlier on Saturday, Day beat Watson 4 and 3 to reach the quarter-final. Defending champion Hunter Mahan will meet 2010 winner Ian Poulter in the other semi-final. Poulter will be a little fresher, having gone 4-up on Steve Stricker after 12 holes before wrapping up his win by sinking a 10-foot par putt at the short 16th. The flamboyant Englishman, who is renowned for his match-play grit and superb putting, went ahead for the first time at the par-three third where he sank a double-breaking 40-footer for birdie while Stricker missed his attempt from seven feet. American Mahan made it through to the semis after triumphing 1-up in a tight match with US Open winner Webb Simpson.
