Canadian Mackenzie Hughes advances to round of 16 in match-play event

AUSTIN, Texas — Canada’s Mackenzie Hughes has advanced to the knockout stage of the Dell Technologies Match Play.

The golfer from Dundas, Ont., won Group 9 with a record of 2-0-1 after tying American Talor Gooch today.

Gooch won the final two holes to even up the match, but the tie was enough to send Hughes into a match tomorrow against Spain’s Sergio Garcia.

The 16 winners of the four-player groups advance to the weekend elimination rounds.
