Sweden’s Henrik Stenson defeated US Open champion Geoff Ogilvy of Australia two and one on Sunday to win the $8-million World Golf Championships (WGC) Accenture Match-Play Championship.
Stenson became just the second European to win the elite event and denied Ogilvy’s bid to join Tiger Woods as a back-to-back winner of the tournament, which moved to the Arizona desert this year after being played seven of the past eight years at La Costa near San Diego, California.
South Africa’s Trevor Immelman beat American Chad Campbell 4 and 2 in the 18-hole consolation final. — Sapa-AFP
