Toms, DiMarco set up All-American final in Match Play Champions

David Toms hit one spectacular shot after another to pull away from Ian Poulter on Saturday and advance to the final of the Accenture Match Play Championship in Carlsbad, Calif.

Toms will face Chris DiMarco, who recovered from an awful start to beat U.S. Open champion Retief Goosen, in today's 36-hole final with $1.3 million on the line.

In the semifinals, Toms made back-to-back eagles by holing out from the 10th fairway and hitting 5-wood into 2 feet on the par-5 11th. He hit every approach shot within 12 feet over the final eight holes and beat Poulter, 3 and 2.

DiMarco chipped in for birdie from behind the 14th green for the second time Saturday and defeated Goosen, 2 and 1.

After 62 matches crammed in over three days, their victories Saturday afternoon set up an All-American final for the fourth consecutive year at La Costa Resort.

In the quarterfinals earlier Saturday, DiMarco defeated Stewart Cink, 2 and 1; Goosen beat Robert Allenby, 4 and 3; Poulter topped Nick O'Hern, 3 and 1; and Toms edged Adam Scott, 2 and 1.

Champions Tour

Morris Hatalsky finished an opening-round 68 and followed with a 67 Saturday afternoon for a 7-under-par 135 and a two-stroke lead in the rain-shortened Outback Steakhouse Pro-Am in Lutz, Fla.

Hatalsky was one of just 22 players to complete the second round of the event, which was cut to 36 holes. The remainder of the tournament is scheduled to be played today, although heavy rain is forecast and the conclusion could be pushed back to Monday.

Hale Irwin moved into contention with three straight birdies and an eagle on his way to 5 under in the first round.

LPGA Tour

Michelle Wie made a strong run at her first LPGA Tour victory, finishing two strokes behind Jennifer Rosales, who went wire-to-wire for a victory in the season-opening SBS Open on Saturday in Hawaii.

Wie started the day five strokes behind Rosales, then shot her third straight 70 to finish tied for second at 210. Playing on her home island of Oahu, the 15-year-old Wie was trying to become the youngest golfer to win an LPGA event. She had to settle for her best finish in 18 LPGA starts.

Rosales shot a 1-over-par 73 and picked up her second tour win by finishing at an 8-under 208 on the wind-swept Palmer Course.

Wie, the only amateur in the event, had trouble with her irons early but rattled in a 30-foot birdie putt on the par-3 eighth to make the turn at 37. She moved up the leaderboard to reach 5-under with birdies on Nos. 11 and 12 and tapped in for another on her 54th hole.

She had six top-20 finishes in seven LPGA events last year, including fifth-place at the Kraft Nabisco Championship, the tour's first major of the year.

Reilley Rankin struggled with a 75 and finished a career-best fourth.

Eighteen-year-old Paula Creamer, who was making her first tour start since turning pro after winning the LPGA Tour qualifying tournament, closed with a 74 and finished tied for 40th.

ANZ Ladies Masters

Teenager Ai Miyazato shot a 2-under 70 to take a three-stroke lead after three rounds of the ANZ Ladies Masters in Australia.

The 19-year-old Miyazato, who had five wins on the Japanese tour last year after turning pro, is trying to win for the first time away from Japan. She opened the joint Australian and Ladies European Tour event with a course record-tying 63 on Thursday and held the lead through the next two rounds.

Sweden's Cecilia Ekelundh is second at 12-under after a 67.

Dalhousie Golf Club touring professional Karen Stupples, a runner-up in the event last year, is tied for 19th place at 4-under 212. She shot a 68 Saturday after rounds of 71 and 73.
