Fisher through to knockout stage

Defending champion Ross Fisher staged a remarkable fightback to make the last 16 of the Volvo World Match Play at Finca Cortesin in Spain.

Four down after seven holes to American Ryan Moore, the Ryder Cup player still trailed by three with four to go, but won them all.

And because Moore had already been beaten by Luke Donald on the opening day of group games, Donald and Fisher were certain to go through to the knockout stage even before they faced each other.

Moore followed Open champion Louis Oosthuizen, fellow South African Retief Goosen, Dane Anders Hansen and Korean YE Yang in crashing out of the championship.

Oosthuizen's defeat to Venezuelan Jhonattan Vegas, also on the last green, meant Vegas and Graeme McDowell were through.

Goosen was beaten by Nicolas Colsaerts - again at the 18th - and because of that the young Belgian and Rory McIlroy were certain to progress.

Then, when Australian Aaron Baddeley defeated Hansen on the final hole as well, Baddeley and world number one Lee Westwood were also definitely through.
