Johnson had a particularly tough week, dropping all three of his pool play matches and not even making it to the 18th hole in any of those loses. It was a jarring contrast to his play last year at the Match Play, when he never trailed in any match on his way to victory.Rahm, who finished runner-up to Johnson last year, wasnt much better. He managed to earn just a half of a point and lost to Kiradech Aphibarnrat, 4 and 3, in what was essentially a meaningless match for the Spaniard on Friday.World No. 2 Justin Thomas, who can overtake Johnson atop the world ranking with a victory this week, and No. 10 Sergio Garcia are the only players from the top 10 in the World Ranking to advance to the Sweet 16.Phil Mickelson, who lost in the quarterfinals last year at the Match Play and won the last World Golf Championship in Mexico, also failed to advance despite a pair of hard-fought victories after starting his week with a loss.
