FINAL Match
Graeme McDowell vs final hole.Nicolas Colsaerts
Sunday..1pm update.. Nicolas Colsaerts is dormie 2 against GMac who does not have his A game today and is being badly outdriven by the big hitting Belgium.
A half or a win at 17 for Colsaerts and it is over. 17 is a par 3. Colsaerts is just over the back but with a flat lie and GMac is just past pin high, 20 feet. Colsaerts putts 4' past, Gmac misses left..poor putt, conceded 3.. Colsaerts misses 4 footer to lose the hole...
Off to 18 up...
Colsaerts must be 80 yards ahead after the 2 drives in the fairway...He hits his second just short of the green off to the left, again flat lie in thin rough.. GMac lays up then hit's his wedge over the green, well over and has to chip back. Colsaerts chips up to 15 feet in 3 and has 2 putts to win after GMac's chip lands 6 feet short...
Nicolas Colsaerts is your Volvo World Match Play winner !!!
Since they changed the Match Play format a couple of years ago here is a reminder of how it works..
The field of 24 players will be drawn into eight groups of three.
Group matches will be played on Thursday and Friday. The top two players in each group will progress to the knock-out stages consisting of the last 16 and quarter-finals, played on Saturday and semi-finals and final, played on Sunday.
All matches will be contested over 18 holes of match play.
In the round-robin group stages of the tournament, the three players in each group will play each other once. Players will be awarded two points for a win and no points for a loss. If a match is tied after 18 holes each player shall receive one point. If, after all matches have been played, two or more players are tied on points the following criteria will be used to determine the order:
i) Where two players are tied within a group (in any position within the group) then their specific head to head match result will be used to identify which player is placed higher
ii) If two or more players are still tied then those players will compete in a hole-by-hole play-off.
iii) If all three players win one match in their respective group then all three players shall play-off.

Dufner wins again !! Sunday wrap
pgatour.com...With a 25-foot birdie putt on the final hole of the HP Byron Nelson Championship on Sunday,Jason Dufner closed out a one-stroke victory over Dicky Pride to win for the second time in four weeks. He won the Zurich on April 29.
"You probably couldn't dream it any better than what's been going on here," Dufner said. "The wedding has been in the works for close to a year, so we know that's been coming around the corner. And there's been a lot of good golf since then, but to win two events and get married in the span of 22 days, pretty remarkable."
His closing birdie wrapped up a 3-under 67 round for an 11-under 269 to avoid a playoff with Pride who has only won on tour once in 20 years, that was in 1994.
Joe Durant, who was the final alternate added to the Nelson field, shot a 65 to finish in a tie for third at 271 with Henry (68), Marc Leishman (66) and rookie Jonas Blixt (66).
Graham DeLaet, T41 71,68,69,73 +1 281
WRAP-UP Saturday play
Jason Dufner's 1-under 69 was enough to keep a one-stroke lead Saturday heading into the final round of the HP Byron Nelson Championship.Unfazed by more breezy conditions, Dufner is now -8 202 with a one-stroke lead over Jason Day J.J. Henry and Dicky Pride. He is leading the field in GIR and is 2nd in driving so is controlling his ball flight better than anyone else in the wind.
There are 20 players within five strokes of the lead, and Phil Mickelson was among of group of seven more players only one more back as is Graham DeLaet T21 71,68,69 -2,
Matt Kuchar (72 -4) was in the lead at -8 standing on 14 tee until his errant drive led to a drop, then he had to punch back into the fairway before his approach to the back fringe of the green and a double bogey. His approach out of the rough at the next hole found a greenside bunker and he missed a 7-footer for par. I still like his chances to win today.

Australian Nick Flanagan wins the BMW in a playoff..
Australia's Nick Flanagan, 67, tapped in a short par putt on the third playoff hole to defeat countryman Cameron Percy,66, and win the BMW Charity Pro-Am presented by SYNNEX Corporation for the second time.
Flanagan and Percy tied at 15-under 271. The two Aussies were forced into the Tour's first playoff of the year when fortunes turned for each on the final hole of regulation. Percy was leading at 16-under but missed a 10-foot par putt to fall back to 15 under and open the door for Flanagan, who was making only his second start of 2012 campaign.
Flanagan, down by one in the group immediately behind, hooked his second shot at the uphill, 491-yard 18th. The ball hit a television cameraman and caromed back onto the green, nearly clipping the cup before settling 15 feet from the hole. He made the putt to force the playoff.
Brad Fritsch who shared the lead going into the final round, shot 70, -13 shared fifth place, two shots back.
Bryan DeCorso finished at 70 70 71 69, T41 at 280
