Johnson escapes; Mcilroy holds on

Bob Macintyre of Scotland gave the world’s No. 1 player all he could handle in the Dell Technologies Match Play in Austin. In fact, Dustin Johnson had to rally to escape with a tie.

Macintyre build a 2-up lead with three holes to play when Johnson birdied the 16th, and then tied the match with a tough 18footer.

Meanwhile, Rory Mcilroy kept his hopes alive by beating Lanto Griffin.

Bryson Dechambeau made a 25-foot birdie on the 14th hole, and then he took the lead when Kim missed a 5-foot par putt.

Jordan Spieth took a 2-up lead over Matthew Wolff to the 17th hole at Austin Country Club. And then Spieth didn’t finish either of the last two holes and had to settle for a tie.
