Sergio Garc\u00eda, \u00c1lvaro Quir\u00f3s and Rafael Cabrera-Bello have overcome their rivals this morning in the round of 16 and this afternoon they will play the quarterfinals. Sergio defeated the Englishman Tom Lewis by 4&amp;3, \u00c1lvaro did the same with the tournament favorite, the defending champion, the Englishman Ian Poulter, whom he also beat by 4&amp;3, and Rafael, in the closest and most exciting match in its final stretch, beat the Swede Robert Karlsson on the last hole of Finca Cortes\u00edn by holing a birdie. Two major winners, Northern Ireland&#8217;s Graeme McDowell and Scotland&#8217;s Paul Lawrie, who beat England&#8217;s Richard Finch (3&amp;2) and Sweden&#8217;s Thomas Bj\u00f6rn (5&amp;4) respectively in the morning, will also play in the quarterfinals this afternoon.
