Louis played in the Volvo World Match Play Championship at Finca Cortesin in Andalucia, Spain. Louis was drawn in the group with Graeme McDowell and Jhonattan Vegas and on Thursday he was defeated 3 and 1 by Graeme McDowell. On Friday he was beaten 1up by Vegas, so Louis takes no further part in the event and is now looking forward to the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth next week.

The Format

The field of 24 players will be drawn into eight groups of three.

Group matches will be played on Thursday and Friday. The top two players in each group will progress to the knock-out stages consisting of the last 16 and quarter-finals, played on Saturday and semi-finals and final, played on Sunday.

All matches will be contested over 18 holes of traditional match play.

In the round-robin group stages of the tournament players will be grouped according to their Official World Golf Ranking as of the Monday of the Championship. The three players in each group will play each other once. Players will be awarded two points for a win and no points for a loss. If a match is tied after 18 holes each player shall receive one point. If, after all matches have been played, two or more players are tied on points the following criteria will be used to determine the order:

   i) Where two players are tied within a group (in any position within the group) then their specific head to head match result will be used to identify which player is placed higher

   ii) If two or more players are still tied then those players will compete in a hole-by-hole play-off.

   iii) If all three players win one match in their respective group then all three players shall play-off.
