SURREY, England, Sept. 16 (UPI) -- Paul Casey and Shaun Micheel won their matches Saturday to advance to Sunday's final at HSBC World Match Play Championship in Surrey, England.

Casey, the 12th seed, beat Colin Montgomerie, 6 & 5. Micheel took a 2-up victory over Karlsson.

Casey and Montgomerie will be teammates next week at the Ryder Cup.

The 15th-seeded Micheel had already knocked off Tiger Woods and Luke Donald.

Casey and Micheel will play in a 36-hole final for the more than $1.86 million first-place prize -- largest in the world among officially sanctioned events. The loser will receive $745,760 for second place.

"I figure I am a little bit of an underdog again," Micheel said. "I don't know if there will be anybody out there rooting for me except my caddie and my wife."
