WITH THIS WIN
Ian Poulter denied Luke Donald the World Number One spot as he beat him in the final of the Volvo World Match Play Championship in Spain.
England's Luke Donald and Ian Poulter, the last two winners of the WGC-Accenture Match Play in Arizona, won through to face each other in the final of the Volvo World Match Play Champoionship in Spain.
Luke Donald birdied three of the first four holes in a flying start against Martin Kaymer - his rival for the World Number One spot - in the semi-finals of the Volvo World Match Play Championship at Finca Cortesin.
Luke Donald will have another chance to go to World Number One for the first time on Sunday - but he will have to beat Martin Kaymer again to keep that hope alive.
Ian Poulter sent top seed Lee Westwood tumbling out of the Volvo World Match Play Championship in Spain and opened the door for Luke Donald or Martin Kaymer to become World Number One.

Ian Poulter qualified for the last 16 of the Volvo World Match Play Championship in Spain - although he did not win a game.
