It seemed that the final duel in the Volvo World Match Play World Championship at Finca Cortesin was going to be between two major winners, the Scotsman Paul Lawrie and the Northern Irishman Graeme McDowell, but finally it will only be one, the latter, after the Belgian Nicolas Colsaerts turned the scoreboard around after having been behind and defeated Lawrie in the semifinals, specifically in the second playoff hole after having finished the 18 tied. McDowell ended the hopes of the Spanish to have a representative in the final when he defeated the Canary Rafael Cabrera-Bello, who was scratching the result until the end but could not with the security of the Northern Irishman, who would finally win by two holes. This afternoon the final and the 700,000 euros to be pocketed by the champion will be decided. The runner-up will win 360,000 of the 2,750,000 euros that the Volvo World Match Play Championship, which this year celebrates its 47th edition, will distribute.
