Top-seed Rory McIlroy reached the final of the WGC-Cadillac Match Play Championship by coming from behind late on to beat Jim Furyk.

The Northern Irishman was 1 down going to the 17th tee, but then produced a birdie-eagle finish to stun America's Furyk and reach the final, which takes place later today.

He will face another American, Gary Woodland, who got the better of England's Danny Willett 3&2 in a match between the 52nd and 49th seeds at TPC Harding Park.

Earlier on Sunday, McIlroy had to finish his quarter-final with Paul Casey after it got too dark late on Saturday. He needed just one hole to advance to the last four as Casey failed to match his par on the 22nd hole.

So far, Woodland has played the 60th seed, 65th seed and 49th seed in the knockout stages. McIlroy is the first top seed to reach the final since Tiger Woods.
