Alvaro Quiros became the first player to qualify for the knock-out stages of the Volvo World Match Play Championship - and did it in real style.
The Spaniard spun his approach into the 14th hole at Finca Cortesin for an eagle two that completed a 5 and 4 victory over Denmark's Søren Kjeldsen.
Quiros had beaten World Number Nine Paul Casey - a former winner of the title - on the opening day of group games and it left Casey fighting it out with Kjeldsen this afternoon for the other place in the last 16.
Elsewhere Ian Poulter found himself in a really tough game with Scotland's former Open Champion Paul Lawrie.
Poulter had started with a half against Ryder Cup teammate Francesco Molinari and was on level terms with Lawrie with two to play.
Miguel Angel Jiménez, who beat Masters Tournament champion Charl Schwartzel on day one, was four down with seven to go against Swede Johan Edfors, but won the next three holes.
South African Retief Goosen, who started with a loss against Rory McIlroy, was two up on Belgian Nicolas Colsaerts after ten but lost the following two holes, while defending champion Ross Fisher, playing his first game, came from four down to two down against American Ryan Moore after 11 holes.
In the other morning games Australian Aaron Baddeley was one up on Dane Anders Hansen - beaten by Lee Westwood on Thursday - with eight to go, Open Champion Louis Oosthuizen hit back from his loss to Graeme McDowell and was one up on Venezuelan Jhonattan Vegas after 12 and in the all-Korean game Noh Seung-yul led Y E Yang by two after 11.
Lawrie horseshoed out from six feet on the 17th, but after missing the chance to go in front there he was relieved to get a half-point when Poulter failed from ten feet at the last.
It was Poulter's second halved game and it meant that as long as there was a winner between Lawrie and Molinari he would be through.
If they also halved, though, all three would go into a sudden death play-off.
Edfors, meanwhile, beat Jiménez on the 17th and that gave both men one group win. If Edfors then lost to Schwartzel all three would be in a shoot-out.
Goosen was the first player to know he was out of the event when he made a mess of the last hole and followed his loss to McIlroy with another against Colsaerts.
It put McIlroy and the Belgian through regardless of what happened in their afternoon match.
Goosen missed the green on the par five to the right and from down the slope failed to make it back up. His second chip was far better, but his opponent was at the back of the green in two and two-putted.
Former US PGA Champion Yang was knocked out as well when Noh hit a tee shot to within three feet of the flag on the 17th and with a birdie two won 2 and 1. Kaymer and Noh were therefore into the last 16.
Oosthuizen was next to pack his bags, beaten for the second day running when Vegas birdied the last to guarantee his last-16 berth.
