Each of the pool winners will advance to Saturday's round of 16, with the quarter-finals held later the same day before the semi-finals and final take place on Sunday. However, the Northern Irishman birdied the par-three 11th - a hole his opponent bogeyed - to extend his lead and then secured victory at the par-three 17th with another birdie.

Séamus Power and Shane Lowry both lost their opening matches at Austin Country Club.

Scott brought it back to one up after a birdie on the 14th, and it was a tie on the 16th before Scott grabbed a decisive birdie on the 18th to steal the win. It was sort of good to see that after struggling at The Players (Championship).” It was fun though, because every shot is really intense, at least you think, because (if you) hit one bad shot, that kind of gives your competitor an opening. He went two up on the 7th and maintained his lead from there. Lowry was one up after two, but Montgomery soon took control, going one up after a birdie on the sixth. He was one up after the third hole, and while the pair were tied after eight holes, Power was two up on the 12th hole.

A buoyant Rory McIlroy turned one eye towards his latest attempt to win the Masters after opening with a win in the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play, ...

It was sort of good to see that after struggling at The Players [Championship]." Seamus Power, in Group 13, also fell short against 2013 Masters champion Adam Scott, who finished one up on the Waterford native. Obviously innovation happens, but I don't think people imagined golf the way pros play the game right now. Asked about reports that he had needed just 19 putts in a recent practice round at Augusta National, McIlroy said with a laugh: "Look, I had two good days. "I had to respond a couple times to what Scott did on the back nine, so it was nice to sort of feel that little bit of pressure and have to hit a shot or have to make a putt." "Obviously this part of the season you've got one eye on what you're doing now and one eye on Augusta," said McIlroy, who had a new putter in the bag and used it effectively to make six birdies, the last one a concession on the 17th which sealed victory.
