Sagstrom too needed extended time to beat Spain’s Carlota Ciganda in the last 16, albeit the Swede just requiring one extra 19th hole to get the job done.
Nelly Korda’s defence of her T-Mobile Match Play title was ended in the round robin stage on Friday
The 64-player field at the T-Mobile Match Play was divided into 16 four-player groups competing in three days of round-robin matches. A win earned one point, a tie earned a half-point and a loss was worth zero points.
The winner of each group moved on to a 16-player, single-elimination bracket which continues with the semi-finals and final on Sunday.

Paul Skenes notches 9 strikeouts, leading Pirates to 3-0 win over Dodgers
Friday night's matchup between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Pittsburgh Pirates featured an enticing clash between National League Rookie of the Year Paul Skenes and the reigning World Series champions.Would the Pirates' pitching sensation be humbled by one of the most formidable lineups in Major League Baseball? Or would one of the NL's top pitchers handcuff a Dodgers offense that hasn't yet performed to expectations?AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThis time around, Skenes prevailed with 6 1/3 scoreless innings in Pittsburgh's 3-0 victory. The right-hander notched nine strikeouts with no walks and five hits allowed.“I think that he’s one of the best in the game,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said after the game. “Tonight, we really couldn’t muster much.”However, Roberts also felt that Dodgers hitters helped Skenes out by continuing a trend of chasing pitches out of their hitting zone."I think that it's hard to […]
Chelsea si poradila s Evertonem a dál drží naději na Ligu mistrů
Anglický reprezentant v brance Evertonu Pickford udržel ve své kariéře proti Chelsea sedmkrát čisté konto, tentokrát ale kapituloval po střele, kterou za hranicí šestnáctky vyslal Jackson. Pro senegalského útočníka to byl desátý ligový gól v sezoně a první od poloviny prosince. Pět minut před koncem se trefil podruhé, ale z ofsajdu. Nejlepší střelec londýnského klubu Palmer, který před rokem dal stejnému soupeři čtyři branky, se tentokrát ke střele vůbec nedostal.Trenér domácích Maresca sledoval zápas kvůli žlutým kartám jen z tribuny a s generálkou na čtvrteční semifinále Konferenční ligy ve Stockholmu mohl být spokojen. Jeho svěřenci si dál udržují šanci, že se po dvouleté přestávce vrátí do Ligy mistrů, kterou bude hrát pět zástupců kolébky fotbalu.Anglická fotbalová liga - 34. kolo:Chelsea - Everton 1:0 (27. Jackson)
