No. 10 Colsaerts had no problem with second-seeded Justin Rose, beating him 4 & 2 in the first match of the day and that was followed up by No. 3 Garcia falling to Kuchar 2 & 1. Colsaerts and Kuchar will now square off on Saturday in a Ben Hogan bracket semifinal.
Over in the Sam Snead bracket, No. 15 Clark dispatched Thorbjorn Olesen 3 & 2. He will play Ian Poulter in the next week round, assuming Poulter can hold onto his 2 up lead on Bo Van Pelt after 16 holes.
But the upsets appear to just be getting started. Top-seeded Louis Oosthuizen currently trails Robert Garrigus by three holes with just five left to play and in the biggest surprise, No. 9 Scott Piercy is 6 up on No. 1 Luke Donald after 11 holes.
This Friday of upsets and brewing upsets comes a day after top seeds Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy were sent packing in the first round at The Gold Club at Dove Mountain.
