DORADO, Puerto Rico -- Vicente Fernandez continued his roll in the Chrysler Senior Match Play Challenge, beating John Jacobs 4 and 3 Saturday to advance to the semifinals.

Fernandez, who ousted defending champion Larry Nelson on Friday, will meet Ray Floyd on Sunday. Leonard Thompson opposes Lanny Wadkins in the other semifinal.

"I didn't give John any opportunities unless he made birdies," said Fernandez, the lowest-seeded player in the 16-man field for the event on the 6,900-yard Hyatt Dorado Beach East course. "My game got better as the round went on."

No. 13 Floyd took 12th-seeded Mike McCullough 1 up. Thompson, seeded 10th, defeated No. 2 Dana Quigley 2 and 1. No. 14 Wadkins beat No. 11 Ed Dougherty 4 and 3.

The winner will receive $240,000 from the $720,000 purse.
