MARANA, Ariz. Air Force 1 Billigt . -- Its rare to hear Ernie Els describe his week at the Match Play Championship as "wonderful." Hes usually not around long enough to say anything at all. This time, the wacky world of match play is working in his favour. Even though Els has made more bogeys than birdies, even though he didnt break par at Dove Mountain until his quarterfinal match Saturday, the 44-year-old South African is two matches away from claiming another World Golf Championship. Els made birdie from the desert on the par-5 eighth hole to take the lead for good against 20-year-old Jordan Spieth, and then pulled away for a 4-and-2 victory to reach the semifinals for the first time in 13 years. "At times I havent played my best, as you guys have well-documented and know," Els said with a laugh. "But its match play. Ive just done enough to get through." Graeme McDowell was the only other player who felt lucky to still be around, only for his luck to run out against Victor Dubuisson of France. McDowell had reached the quarterfinals even though he never led a single hole while any of his previous three matches were in progress. He finally took a lead -- 60 holes into this tournament -- and wound up losing. Typical of his week, it went down to the wire. Dubuisson hit a beautiful chip from the rough in front of a corporate suite behind the 16th green to save par, while McDowell missed a 6-foot putt to lose the hole. Dubuisson saved par with another superb chip behind the 17th green, and had one more in his bag from below the 18th green to save yet another par. McDowell narrowly missed a 25-foot birdie putt that would have extended the match. "Lucky, lucky to even be here today," McDowell said. "But actually played quite nicely most of the day. It all boiled down to my putter actually let me down. I had a chance on 14 for the hole, chance on 15 for the hole, missed a short one on 16. My luck is going to run out sooner than later." Els plays Dubuisson, a rising star in the European ranks who won the Turkish Open, where Tiger Woods finished five shots behind. In other quarterfinal matches: -- Jason Day reached the semifinals for the second straight year with a 2-and-1 win over Louis Oosthuizen, who played with a nagging back injury. -- Rickie Fowler lost a 3-up lead to Arizona grad Jim Furyk, only to win the last two holes for a 1-up victory for a shot at Day. Furyk was in the same spot as Dubuisson on the 18th hole, but his first chip rolled back down the hill toward his feet. Fowler is the No. 53 seed, the highest to reach the semifinals since Zach Johnson was No. 59 in 2006 when it was held at La Costa. Els long held a reputation as a wizard in match play, having captured the World Match Play Championship seven times when it was at Wentworth and featured smaller fields and 36-hole matches. This version hasnt been kind to him. He reached the semifinals in 2001 at Metropolitan Golf Club in Melbourne, only to lose to Pierre Fulke. Els didnt imagine it would take this long to get back, though he understands that anything can happen -- and usually does -- over 18 holes of match play. "I really had a love-hate relationship with this event, as you guys well know," he said. "I was lucky enough to get in the field a couple of years ago and beat Luke Donald in the first round. But most of the time, I lost in the first round here either on the 18th or 19th hole. Its been a frustrating time in this event." The semifinals will be Sunday morning, following by the championship match. "Im just very glad to be here on Sunday," Els said. "Hopefully, it goes good tomorrow. I still feel Ive got a really good one in me." Fowler never looked like he would need to go 18th holes the way his match against Furyk started. And then he was happy to get there. Furyk was 3 down with only six holes remaining when he made three straight birdies and won a fourth straight hole at No. 16 with a par when Fowler flubbed a chip. Furyk missed the fairway on the 17th, however, allowing Fowler to square the match. On the 18th, Furyk came up just a fraction short of perfect and saw the ball roll back down the false front of the green. His chip was heavy, and that one rolled back toward his feet and led to bogey. Fowler navigated a quick birdie putt down the slope to a concession range and escaped. "Disappointed," said Furyk, in the quarterfinals for the first time in 14 appearances in this World Golf Championship. "I fought all way back from 3 down. I had all the momentum and I didnt put the ball on the fairway on 17 and didnt put the ball in the fairway on 18. I dont feel I handed the match away, but I definitely made it too easy on him the last two holes." It was the third straight round in which Fowler was trailing with three holes to play, and he pulled out wins against Jimmy Walker, Sergio Garcia and Furyk. The only easy time Fowler had was against Ian Poulter. "Its nice to get a win no matter how it happens," Fowler said. Air Force 1 Rea . PETERSBURG, Fla. Air Force One Sverige .

The Colts running backs overpowered defenders. And when defensive stops were needed, Indy came up with the biggest plays of all.Luck threw one touchdown pass, ran for another Sunday and masterfully milked the clock late before Indys suddenly stout defence snuffed out the Ravens final chance with a daring deflection to preserve a 20-13 victory.Im pretty sure he (Chuck Pagano) is trying to instil the same traits in us with being a physical team, cornerback Vontae Davis said of Indys coach, who spent four seasons on the Ravens staff. It was a physical game.No, it wasnt pretty.Luck threw two interceptions, had one touchdown called back because of a rare penalty on Reggie Wayne and couldnt convert on fourth-and-1 on the Colts opening possession. He still finished 32 of 49 with 312 yards and the TD, and his nimble 13-yard TD run early in the fourth quarter wound up providing the decisive points.Indy also lost two fumbles and two of those four turnovers a€” Lucks third-quarter interception at the Baltimore 18 and Ahmad Bradshaws fumble at the Ravens 10 with 1:49 left a€” made the finish infinitely more difficult. It wasnt over until cornerback Greg Tolers diving deflection prevented Torrey Smith, who had gotten behind him on fourth-and-3 with 32 seconds left.Indianapolis (3-2) has won three straight and now owns a share of the AFC South lead thanks to Houstons overtime loss to Dallas.They (Baltimore) do such a great job of standing strong in the red zone and not giving up touchdowns, Luck said. We knew that coming in. We talked about if we werent getting (scores) early, stick with it. Dont get frustrated.The Colts patience paid off with Lucks 6-yard TD pass to Dwayne Allen with 10:33 left in the third quarter, and then with Lucks TD run with 8:56 left in the game that made it 20-6.But it was a strange game.Both teams missed scoring chances in the first half when they couldnt convert on fourth down. Both coaches, Pagano and John Harbaugh, lost first-half challenges as they attempted to get spots overturned. The teams combined for seven turnovers, and Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco was sacked a season-high four times a€” one more than his combined total in the first four weeks this season.Even Lucas Oil Staadiums retractable roof was closed at halftime because of the threat of rain, the first time thats happened during a regular-season game since the stadium opened in 2008.

The biggest surprise might have been Indys surging defence, which allowed a season-low 13 points, limited Baltimore (3-2) to just 1 of 11 third-down conversions and helped produce a 17 1/2-minute disparity in time of possession.Flacco finished 22 of 38 for 235 yards and no touchdowns, and his top two receivers a€” Steve Smith and Torrey Smith a€” combined to make eight catches for 72 yards. Baltimores only touchdown came on Justin Forsetts 11-yard TD run with 7:16 to go.The predictable result: Baltimores three-game winning streak ended as it dropped to 0-5 all-time in Indianapolis.They came after us a pretty good amount. When they do that, when they come after us, its tough to throw the ball, and we werent quite able to make those plays, Flacco said. We needed to hurt them a little bit more. We needed to take advantage of that.In the first half, it was all defence a€” and all field goals.Steve Smiths fumble on the Ravens first offensive play led to Adam Vinatieris 38-yard field goal.Vinatieri made it 6-0 late in the second quarter after one defensive penalty gave the Colts a second chance to score a touchdown, and an offensive penalty later wiped out a touchdown pass.Baltimore finally got on the scoreboard with Justin Tuckers 52-yard field goal as time expired in the first half, cutting the deficit to 6-3.But in the second half, the Colts applied even more pressure with Luck and the ground game taking charge on offence and the defence holding fast, a strategy Baltimore prefers.(Against Baltimore) you expect things not to go as expected. What you do expect is a tough, gritty, down-to-the-wire (game), Luck said. We survived our mistakes, in a sense. We made our plays enough to get a win.NOTES: Recently reinstated Colts linebacker Robert Mathis watched the game from the sideline. ...
