Langer upsets odds again

Bernhard Langer went from Captain Fantastic to giant-killer today – by knocking world number one Vijay Singh out of the HSBC World Match Play championship at Wentworth.

At 86th in the rankings the 47-year-old German was the second-lowest ranked player in the 16-man field, but he won a sudden death thriller to earn a quarter-final against one of his team in Detroit last month, Spain’s Miguel Angel Jimenez.
