Donald into semi-finals

England's Luke Donald booked his place in the semi-finals of the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship in Tucson with a polished last-eight win over Ryan Moore.

The 33-year-old, who is searching for a first win on American soil for five years, beat Moore 5&4 to send out an ominous warning to the remaining members of the field.

He was four shots up on his opponent at the turn after five front-nine birdies, and carried on in a similar vein on the back nine, wrapping things up with a 15-footer with four holes to spare.

"I've been working hard and it's nice to see the work paying off. I made a bunch of birdies and made it hard for Ryan," Donald told Sky Sports.

"You do the same things, try and hit it close, give yourself opportunities and put pressure on your opponent."

Donald will face another American in Matt Kuchar in the last four.

Kuchar overcame YE Yang 2&1 to build on his victory over Rickie Fowler on Friday.
