DUSTIN GAINS SEMIS AGAINST JAPANESE

AUSTIN, TEXAS— World No. 1 Dustin Johnson stayed on track to become the first player to win all four World Golf Championships events when he advanced to the semifinals at the WGC-Dell Match Play in Texas on Saturday.

Johnson lost three consecutive holes during his quarterfinal against Alexander Noren, but had enough in reserve to secure a 3&2 victory over the Swedish eighth seed at Austin Country Club.

Next up for the American top seed is a Sunday morning semifinal against Japanese 54th seed Hideto Tanihara.
