Colombian Professional Golf Star Camilo Villegas has beaten defending champion Geoff Ogilvy in the last-32 of the 2010 WGC-Accenture World Matchplay Championship by the margin of 2 and 1.

Also advancing to the last-16 was Englishman Ian Poulter who beat Australian Adam Scott by the same margin.

Three Asian players, Thongchai Jaidee, Ryoto Ishikawa and Jeev Milkha Singh also made it through to the round of 16.

Last year's beaten finalist Paul Casey advanced very comfortable with a 5 and 4 win over former U.S Masters Mike Weir of Canada. He was joined in the last-16 by fellow-countrymen Oliver Wilson and Luke Donald.

2009 British Open Golf Champion Stewart Cink made it through on the final green against Sean O'Hair.

South African Charl Schwartze, who has won twice already this year on the European Tour, is also through to the last-16.
