Westwood to face Stenson in Match Play championship

World number one Lee Westwood will now have to play former winner and former Ryder Cup teammate Henrik Stenson in the first round of the WGC-Accenture Match Play in Arizona on Wednesday – providing there are no more withdrawals.

As the top seed Westwood was all set to face Toru Taniguchi, but a neck injury has led to the Japanese player’s withdrawal and first reserve Stenson therefore comes into the 64-man field.
