OGILIVY v CASEY 36HOLE FINAL

There was some fantastic golf played during the quarter final's and semi final's of the WGC Accenture matchplay in Arizona.
Geoff Ogilivy was 7 under par when he saw off N.Ireland's 19 year old Rory mcIlroy on the 17th green,and when the semi final was level after 12 holes,he went birdie,eagle,birdie,birdie to see off Stuart Cink to reach the final for the 3rd time in 4 year's.Geoff was champion in 2006,and was in the final in 2007.

The other semi final was fought out between two Englishmen.Former World matchplay champion Paul Casey had an easy 4/3 win over American Sean o'Hair,and Ross Fisher had a tidy 2/1 win over the steady Justin Leonard.It make sure an English man would reach the Final for the first time.
It was always going to be a tight game,and so it proved with Casey keeping in nose in front winning on the 17th.
Geoff Ogilivy said he was delighted to have to come out on top of McIlroy.He agreed with comment's from Mark o Meara and Ernie Els that Rory would be hard to stop from reaching the top of the World rankings.
