WGC Cadillac Match Play - Day 2

As we head into the final day of the round-robin portion of the WGC Cadillac Match Play Championship, here are a look at the best matches on Friday.

Rory McIlroy (2-0) vs. Billy Horschel (2-0) 

Last year's Open Champion/PGA Champion vs. the Fed Ex Cup Champion in a winner advances match.  Great match up against two players who could develop a very nice rivalry heading into the future.

Prediction: Rory McIlroy

Jordan Spieth (2-0) vs. Lee Westwood (2-0)

The future meets the past in another "winner takes" all match.  Spieth has cruised this week and looks to be continuing his fine play from April.

Prediction: Jordan Spieth

Bubba Watson (2-0) vs. Louis Oosthuizen (2-0)
Yes, it's another "winner take all match" but it's two former major champions battling in match-play with two different styles of play.

Prediction: Louis Oosthuizen

Per No Laying Up, there are 24 matches which have weekend implications and 8 which do not.  Much better drama than the previous format where there were only 16 matches at this point.
