Fisher Wins World Match PlayRoss Fisher beat the American Anthony Kim 4&3 in the final of the World Match Play Championship at the Finca Cortesin golf course in Andalucia, Spain. Fisher, who is €750,000 (£671,000) richer after negotiating 126 hilly holes at the mountainous Finca Cortesin layout over four gruelling days, moves into fourth place on the European Tours Race to Dubai and has already gone a long way towards assuring himself of a Ryder Cup debut at Celtic Manor next October. "This is a massive confidence boost for me," said the new champion. "I felt like I played well and did a good job of putting the pressure on him," added Fisher. "I was relieved to get to three up though. At that point I knew I just had to finish the job off. "I could have won every major this year if things had gone my way – I led all four at some point – so Ive been very consistent without winning. But this is a big step up for me. Anything with the word world in the title has to mean a great deal." View the whole article at The Guardian Online |
