Day wins a thrilling final at the World Matchplay

Many people who didn't know Victor Dubuisson before this week at Dove Mountain sure do now..

Semi finals

Final
Jason Day beats Dubuisson 1up 23 holes


Jason Day never trailed in the hard-fought championship match as he ran his Accenture record to 14-3 and won for the second time in his PGA TOUR career. The victory was the second-seeded Day's first in a World Golf Championships and made the 26-year-old, who finished third at Dove Mountain a year ago, the tournament's youngest winner.

Victor Dubuisson was 2 down standing on the 17th tee, then promptly won them both to send the match  to extras with some miraculous shot making and recovery's and he kept up that act until the  the driveable 15th, the 23rd of the match. Both players hit their drives to the right of the green. Dubuisson chipped long, though, and his Houdini touch deserted him on the 32-footer for birdie. When Day buried his 4-footer he had the win.

Ernie Els who lost to Dubuisson 1dn in the semi lost 1dn to Rickie Fowler in the consolation final.

Dubuisson, who equaled the highest finish ever by a Frenchman on the PGA TOUR, now has enough FedExCup points as a non-member to join as a Special Temporary Member for the rest of the year. That allows him to accept unlimited sponsor exemptions if he decides to take up membership.
