Ireland's Padraig Harrington beat Sam Torrance four and three to reach the final of the World Match Play championship at Wentworth today.
Harrington trailed his European Ryder Cup captain by two holes after 15 but clawed back to all-square at the halfway mark and then won the first four holes of the afternoon's round.
Torrance reduced the deficit to two holes with birdies at the seventh and eighth, but two bogeys at the 13th and 14th left him needing a miracle to recover a second time.
The Dubliner put the 48-year-old out of his misery at the next hole after the Scot had duffed his tee shot under a tree and could only take a bogey five.
Eleven years after his last World Match Play victory, Ian Woosnam moved within sight of a third title with a crushing 10 and nine win over defending champion Lee Westwood. The 43-year-old Welshman won his first title in 1987.
He will rarely have played better than this week, claiming the scalps of U.S. Open champion Retief Goosen and last year's runner-up Colin Montgomerie before finishing off Westwood on the 27th hole of the scheduled 36-hole contest.
He collected seven birdies in an almost flawless first 18 holes in the morning to turn seven up.
Woosnam did not let up on the hapless European number one after lunch either, with birdies at the fourth, sixth and eighth as he continued to show amazing touch with his broomhandle putter.
In all, the 1991 U.S. Masters champion needed just one putt on 12 of the greens.
