Jordan Spieth, Jason Day and Rory McIlroy claim their second wins of the World Golf Championship-Dell Match Play.

The world's top three players Jordan Spieth, Jason Day and Rory McIlroy have continued their unbeaten starts to the World Golf Championship-Dell Match Play by claiming wins on day two.

McIlroy, who is the defending champion, was tested by Smylie Kaufman, but he managed to come from behind twice to claim a 3&1 win.

Spieth started strongly against Victor Dubuisson and grabbed a 5&4 victory, which means that he will take on Justin Thomas for a place in the knockout spots.

Day, who has recently been struggling with a back injury, impressed on the first hole with an eagle and went on to beat Thongchai Jaidee 5&3.

The Australian is guaranteed at least a playoff place as he is one point ahead of the field in Group 2.
