him place in World Match-play
FROM SKYSPORTS.COM
Tommy Fleetwood's third-place finish at the
Shenzhen International on Sunday has earned him his debut in the
WGC-Cadillac Match Play at the end of April.
The Englishman, pictured left, fired a pair of 69s over the weekend in China,
although he finished one shot shy of being in a play-off with eventual
champion Kiradech Aphibarnrat and Li-Hao Tong.But Fleetwood picked up enough ranking points to propel him from 66th to 55th in the world, and he can now look forward to competing in the second WGC event of the year at TPC Harding Park in San Francisco.
Martin scraped into his first WGC tournament as the world No 64, while Miguel Angel Jimenez (65) and Francesco Molinari (66) are both expected to feature.
World No 50 Luke Donald has already confirmed he will not take part in San Francisco as the event clashes with his brother's wedding
South African Tim Clark is unlikely to tee it up, having not played since January due to an elbow injury.
The WGC-Cadillac Match Play features a new format this year, with 16 four-man groups playing in a round-robin over the first three days in a significant switch from the traditional straight knockout.
But Tiger Woods will again be absent as he remains outside the world's top 100, while Ernie Els (80) and former champion Steve Stricker (74) also miss out.
+Tommy Fleetwood won the Scottish amateur stroke play championship over four rounds at Murcar Links in 2009.
