Stenson to play Ogilvy in final

Posted on February 25th, 2007 in Golf News by claudiu

Swedish Ryder Cup star Henrik Stenson will play defending champion Geoff Ogilvy in the 36-hole final of the WGC Match Play in Arizona on Sunday. Stenson beat South Africa’s Trevor Immelman 3&2, while Australia’s Ogilvy also downed American Chad Campbell 3&2.

Stenson took the lead at the first and was never headed, alternating between two and three up from the fourth hole.

US Open champion Ogilvy was one down after seven but took the decisive lead on the 9th before winning on the 16th.

Immelman and Campbell will fight it out over 18 holes for third place on Sunday.

“I’m knackered now, playing two rounds today. It was nice not to have to go all the way to the end in this one,” said Stenson, 30, who held off Ernie Els and Tiger Woods to clinch his fifth European Tour title at this month’s Dubai Desert Classic.
