Westwood to face Stenson in first round

The draw for this week's WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship in Arizona has been confirmed with top seed Lee Westwood heading a 64-man line-up. Japan's Toru Taniguchi - ranked 64th in the world - is the only absentee from the world's elite after suffering a neck injury, his place taken by Henrik Stenson. The Swede who won the title in 2007, takes on Westwood in the first round on Wednesday. Ernie Els is expected to be fit to take on American Jeff Overton after he was advised to miss last week's Northern Trust Open with a stiff neck. World number two Martin Kaymer takes on South Korean talent Seung-yul Noh, while Tiger Woods starts out against recent Qatar winner Thomas Bjorn. Ian Poulter will launch the defence of his title against former Open champion Stewart Cink, while Francisco Molinari will take his place in the field despite recently becoming a father. Draw
