Carlsbad, Calif. ? As quickly as 1-2-3, the biggest names disappeared Friday in the Match Play Championship.

Vijay Singh, Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson all went down in surprising losses, with only Mickelson getting into the third round and none of their final matches even going the distance.

The highest seed remaining after a wild day at La Costa was U.S. Open champion Retief Goosen, who rallied from 3 down with eight holes to play and beat hard-luck, worn-out Chad Campbell on the 19th hole.

No one had a longer day than Campbell, who played more holes Friday (43) than he did all week at the Nissan Open, where he lost a one-hole playoff to Adam Scott in a tournament shortened to 36 holes by rain.

Only two of the top 10 seeds were left going into the quarterfinals.

“That’s the beauty of this tournament,” David Toms said after eliminating Mickelson. “Phil and I were talking today, when he shot that low round at Spyglass (62), you get a big lead on the field. Here, you can do that in one match. And the next match, if you don’t play well you’re gone.”

Woods had won 13 consecutive matches during his two-year reign of the Accenture Match Play Championship. He played Nick O’Hern, an unheralded Aussie who hadn’t played in this event since he got in as the 39th alternate four years ago in Australia.

Woods was no match. O’Hern hit most of the fairways, made all of his important putts and never trailed in a 3-and-1 victory, ending the match with a 3-iron from 200 yards out of the rough to 25 feet and holing the putt.

O’Hern hardly suffered an emotional letdown. He promptly birdied his first two holes and easily beat Luke Donald of England, 5 and 4.

Singh was the first big name out the door. Singh has never advanced beyond the second round, and 51-year-old Jay Haas extended that dubious streak with a 3-and-2 victory.
