McIlroy went down by six shots to Matt Kuchar after a dreadful run of triple-bogey, double-bogey, double-bogey from the 15th, while Woods lost by one to Charl Schwartzel after a bogey on the 18th.
The pair are scheduled to meet in the final match of Group 1 this afternoon, but further defeats for McIlroy by Schwartzel and Woods by his Ryder Cup team-mate Kuchar in the morning would mean neither player could reach the semi-finals, regardless of the result between them.
