Donald ousted in Match Play

MARANA, Ariz. — Tiger Woods had to play a left-handed shot out of the desert. Retief Goosen holed out from 156 yards and didn’t even win the hole. Dustin Johnson twice won a hole after taking a penalty drop.

But the strangest sight of all at the Match Play Championship didn’t come from the golf course.

It was Luke Donald on his way to the airport.

“Golf is like that sometimes,” Donald said after his 5-and-4 loss to Ernie Els, becoming only the third No. 1 seed to lose in the opening round.

It almost took a bite out of Woods, who had to rally to beat Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano.
