Golf: Bjorn to be a winner

Thomas Bjorn said in March that he thought himself and Padraig Harrington had closed the gap on Europe’s ‘‘big three’’ of Lee Westwood, Darren Clarke and Colin Montgomerie.

Today at Wentworth they have the chance to prove it. Bjorn is taking on holder Westwood and Harrington is facing Clarke in the quarter-finals of the Cisco World Match Play championship.
