Westwood scrapes through to meet Els

Lee Westwood, the only man to beat Ernie Els twice in the World Match Play championship, is now the only man who can prevent him lifting the trophy for a record-breaking sixth time.

The pair will meet again in the 36-hole final at Wentworth tomorrow, Els’s 35th birthday, with £1million – golf’s biggest cheque – for the winner and £400,000 for the runner-up on the line as well as the title.
