Volvo World Match Play Championship: Graeme McDowell to take on Thongchai Jaidee in the final

Graeme McDowell will play Thongchai Jaidee in the final of the Volvo World Match Play at Thracian Cliffs in Kavarna, Bulgaria.

The Northern Irishman, beaten by Nicolas Colsaerts in the final 12 months ago, will take on Thongchai Jaidee for the title later on Sunday at Thracian Cliffs in Kavarna, Bulgaria.

McDowell got off to a blistering start to his semi-final, pitching to two feet for a birdie at the first and holing from 18ft for another on the third.

After conceding Grace's short birdie putt on the fourth, he then holed from 20ft to halve the hole and moved three up with another birdie on the next.

Grace reduced the deficit to one down by winning the sixth and 11th, sandwiching four halved holes.

But McDowell responded with birdies at three of the next four holes to go three up with three to play and a half at the 16th ensured the players were shaking hands.

Thailand's Jaidee saw off another South African, Thomas Aiken, by the same scoreline in the other semi-final.
