Fisher holds narrow advantage in World Match Play final

England's Ross Fisher led American Anthony Kim by one after the morning round of their 36-hole Volvo World Match Play final in Spain.

It could have been better for the 28-year-old, after his opponent three-putted the 568-yard 18th for par Fisher did the same.

The Wentworth golfer took the lead on four separate occasions, but could never double it. Kim levelled with birdies on the seventh, ninth and 13th, but fell behind again by bogeying the 464-yard 16th.

In the 18-hole third place play-off, meanwhile, Australian Robert Allenby holed-in-one with a 230-yard five-wood at the sixth, but had to birdie the last to take the game into sudden death.

That produced the better golf. While Fisher was round in an approximate five-under 67 and Kim 68 the players they had beaten in the semi-finals both had eight-under 64s.

Allenby won a superb match in fitting style by sinking an 18-foot eagle putt from off the back of the green on the first extra hole. It made him 10-under for 19 holes.

Cabrera was only 10 feet away in two, but pushed his eagle attempt wide.
