GOLF NEWS - Justin Thomas won twice on Saturday to move one triumph from the world number one ranking and into a semi-final against two-time Masters champion Bubba Watson at the WGC Match-Play Championship.
Second seed Thomas, who won his first major title at last August's PGA Championship, routed South Korean Kim Si-woo 6&5 in the round of 16 and saw off fellow American Kyle Stanley 2&1 in the quarterfinals at Austin Country Club.
If he beats Watson on Sunday, Thomas will play in the afternoon for the crown against the winner of the other semifinal between Swede Alex Noren and American Kevin Kisner.
