Graeme McDowell into World Match Play Championship final 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 3&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 on Sunday. McDowell started strongly 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.
