McDOWELL v JAIDEE IN WORLD MATCH-PLAY FINAL IN BULGARIA

FROM THE BBC SPORT.COM WEBSITE
Northern Ireland's Graeme McDowell will face Thailand's Thongchai Jaidee in the World Match Play Championship final.
Last year's beaten finalist McDowell, 33, proved too good for South Africa's Branden Grace in their semi-final and completed a fine 3and 2 victory.
Jaidee, never behind in his last-four tie against another South African, Thomas Aiken, won by the same score.
The final at the Thracian Cliffs course in the Bulgarian coastal resort of Kavarna takes place later today.

LATER NEWS: Jaidee has taken an early lead over McDowell in the final.
 
McDowell started strongly in the semi-final with two birdies in his opening three holes but Grace fought back and was only one down after he birdied the 11th.
The 2010 US Open winner was in no mood to lie down, however, and birdied four of the next five to book his place in the final.
Jaidee, who had beaten Aiken and England's Ian Poulter in the group stages, was four up after seven.
Aiken carded three birdies in the next four holes but they were only good enough to claw back one hole.
A bogey on the 12th from Jaidee threatened to open the door to his opponent, but a birdie on the next restored an ultimately decisvie three-hole cushion.
