World’s best converge on Austin for match play (The Associated Press)

The PGA Tour heads to Central Texas and into match play for the only time on its schedule when 64 of the best 69 players in the world vie for the title at the World Golf Championships-Match Play, beginning Wednesday at Austin Country Club. The top 64 available players from the Official World Golf Ranking, as of March 13, qualified for the event but — unlike almost everyone else in the free world — five of those golfers chose not to visit the verdant hills of Austin. Henrik Stenson of Sweden (No. 5), Australia’s Adam Scott (8), Rickie Fowler (9), Justin Rose of England (13) and Adam Hadwin (51) are not in this week’s field.
