Matches begin Wednesday morning at 7:30 a.m. and winners of the 16 morning matches will play second round matches Wednesday afternoon. The 8 quarterfinalists will then play Thursday morning, with the 4 winners playing in the afternoon to set up Friday morning's final.
With Montaup's difficult layout and a pair of 36-hole days ahead of them, it will take a championship performance to reach Friday's 36-hole final match.
