McGinley hoping fate leads him to £1m jackpot

The 38-year-old beat Thomas Bjorn six and five in the opening round of the HSBC World Match Play Championship and next meets Ryder Cup team-mate Luke Donald, who had an even more convincing seven and six victory over Bernhard Langer.

McGinley made a remarkable post-lunch surge to beat Bjorn. The Dane was one-up through 22 holes, but lost seven of the next eight holes - a run which included McGinley sinking an 85-yard pitch for an eagle two at the 29th.
