Paul Lawrie and Graeme McDowell reach the last four of the Volvo World Matchplay after defeating Retief Goosen and Sergio Garcia respectively.

The British duo of Paul Lawrie and Graeme McDowell have reached the last four of the Volvo World Matchplay in Spain.

Lawrie, 43, played faultlessly on his way to a 6&5 victory over South African veteran Retief Goosen, while former US PGA champion McDowell overcame Spaniard Sergio Garcia in sudden death.

Former Open winner Lawrie will face the big-hitting Nicolas Colsaerts in the semis after the Belgian took out American Brandt Snedeker 4&3.

McDowell, 32, will take on home favourite Rafael Cabrera-Bello at the Finca Cortesin course in Malaga after the 16th seed defeated fellow countryman Alvaro Quiros 3&1.

The semi-finals get underway this morning before the final later this afternoon.
