McGinley makes strong start

Paul McGinley, two wins away from a £1m (€1.47m) bonanza, made the start he was looking for in the HSBC World Match Play semi-finals at Wentworth today.

Up against Angel Cabrera, the Argentinian who beat him to the BMW Championship title on the same course in May, McGinley won the short second with a conceded birdie after his opponent missed the green and could not save his par.
