Kim favourite to beat Fisher in 36-hole

final of Volvo world match-play

FROM THE AOL GOLF NEWS SERVICE
England's Ross Fisher, from Ascot, Berkshire, his sights still set on becoming the European Tour's No 1 this year, and American Anthony Kim will contest the final of the Volvo world match play championship over 36 holes tomorrow at the first-time Spanish venue of Finca Cortesin.
Kim will start favourite on a comparison of their form in today's 36-hole semi-finals.
Fisher actually had to play 39 holes to get the better of Masters champion Angel Cabrera from Argentina.
Kim had earlier thrashed Australian Robert Allenby for the second time this month. A 5 and 4 victory for the 24-year-old from Los Angeles came three weeks after he beat Allenby 5 and 3 (over 18 holes) at the Presidents Cup in California.
Fisher, who lost to Paul Casey at the last-four stage of the Accenture world match play in Arizona in February, had gone from two up to one down with five to play.
He then won the 32nd and 33rd, but paid the price for conservatively laying up at the par-5 last with Cabrera making birdie from the rough.
They had to return to the final tee three more times in sudden death before Fisher hit a brilliant fairway wood to 12 feet and Cabrera, bunkered and then over the green, conceded defeat.
At stake is a first prize of almost £676,000 with £405,000 for the runner-up.
