WORLD MATCH PLAY Woods, Mickelson, Singh all eliminated

Defending champ David Toms saw his eight-match winning streak end.
CARLSBAD, Calif. (AP) -- Chad Campbell expected overtime against Tiger Woods.
Standing to the side of the 18th green with a 1-up lead, he was so certain that Woods was going to make a 12-foot birdie -- doesn't he always? -- that Campbell already was planning his tee shot on the first extra hole. Imagine his surprise, not to mention his delight, when Woods missed his putt.
"I wasn't really all that disappointed," Campbell said with a grin.
Instead of walking over to the first tee, he watched Woods and an entourage of security climb the stairs toward the clubhouse and check out of La Costa Resort.
Not alone
Good thing Woods didn't shut the door on his way out.
Minutes later, hometown favorite and fifth-seeded Phil Mickelson lost to David Howell of England, leaving Lefty winless on the West Coast for only the fourth time in his career.
In the next group was Vijay Singh, the No. 2 seed, limping along against Padraig Harrington until the Fijian frittered away enough chances to lose on the 19th hole.
Defending champion David Toms, the No. 8 seed, saw his eight-match winning streak end against Ryder Cup captain Tom Lehman in the shortest match of the third round.
Chris DiMarco was the No. 7 seed and said he doubted there were many players at La Costa with his toughness. What he discovered was that match play starts with birdies, and he only made one in a 3-and-2 loss to Davis Love III.
One top seed remains
Six of the top eight seeds had reached the third round. Retief Goosen was the only one left after another high-charged day at La Costa. Goosen, the No. 3 seed, never trailed in beating Luke Donald, 1-up. Not only is he the only top seed remaining, Goosen is the only player who has not trailed at any point through three rounds.
Not that it means anything.
"I don't think anybody of the eight that are left are going to be wishing Tiger was here," Love said. "You never know who is the hot player, who's the guy with the hot putter. It's still match play."
And while there's no such thing as an upset in the Match Play Championship, Mike Weir might feel otherwise. The former Masters champion was 4-up with four holes to play against Geoff Ogilvy when he missed a 10-foot par putt on the 15th to lose the hole. No big deal, right?
But the Aussie birdied the 16th, won the 17th with a par and the 18th with a two-putt birdie. Ogilvy went to extra holes for the third straight round, and won on the 21st hole with an approach to 4 feet for eagle on the par-5 third.
"That was the best thing I ever saw, that 19th tee," Ogilvy said. "I shouldn't have won today."
Still, the buzz -- or what was left of it at La Costa -- was Campbell beating the No. 1 player in the world. He is playing so well that his last two opponents did not make a bogey and still got beat.
"I didn't play badly," Woods said. "Chad played really good. He made a lot more birdies than me, make more putts than I did. I had my opportunities to put pressure on him by making putts, and I didn't do it."
