Lee Westwood and Ian Poulter are set to go head-to-head in the last 16 of the World Match Play Championship on Saturday.

Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell will also play for both local bragging rights and a place in the quarter-finals of the event, in the two stand-out ties of the first knockout round.

Poulter and Westwood are drawn together after the latter breezed through his group with two victories, while Poulter progressed with a certain amount of luck after drawing with both his group stage opponents.

McDowell was another man to win his group, sneaking past Jhonattan Vegas on Friday afternoon, setting up a meeting with McIlroy after his fellow Northern Irishman lost his contest with Nicolas Colsaerts.

Elsewhere, Luke Donald will face Johan Edfors, with Ross Fisher coming up against 2011 Masters champion Charl Schwartzel.

Martin Kaymer faces Paul Casey's vanquisher, Soren Kjeldsen, while home favourite Alvaro Quiros will look to continue his good form against Seung-yul Noh.

Full last 16 draw:
Seung-yul Noh v Alvaro Quiros
Martin Kaymer v Soren Kjeldsen
Ross Fisher v Charl Schwartzel
Luke Donald v Johan Edfors
Jhonattan Vegas v Nicolas Colsaerts
Rory McIlroy v Graeme McDowell
Aaron Baddeley v Francesco Molinari
Ian Poulter v Lee Westwood
