Carlsbad, Calif. ? The stars are gone from the Match Play Championship.

The Stars & Stripes are doing just fine.

David Toms hit one spectacular shot after another to pull away from Ian Poulter, making back-to-back eagles by holing out from the 10th fairway and hitting 5-wood into 2 feet on the par-5 11th. Toms, who hit every approach shot within 12 feet over the final eight holes, won 3 and 2.

Chris DiMarco recovered from an awful start to beat U.S. Open champion Retief Goosen, chipping in for birdie from behind the 14th green for the second time Saturday and winning, 2 and 1.

After 62 matches crammed in over three days, their victories Saturday afternoon set up an All-American final for the fourth consecutive year at La Costa Resort.

Toms and DiMarco will play a 36-hole final today with $1.3 million on the line.

Two-time defending champion Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Vijay Singh were long gone. Their absence left no shortage of sensational golf, particularly from Toms.

He was all square with Poulter, a roller-coaster match in which only two of the first eight holes were halved, when Toms delivered a memorable string of shots.

First came a 5-wood from 192 yards that stopped four feet away on the 467-yard ninth, which played as a par 4 on Saturday for the first time this week. Then he took a little off a 9-iron shot from 123 yards in the 10th fairway that spun back into the cup for birdie. And, from 235 yards on the par-5 11th, Toms hit another 5-wood that stopped two feet away.

Suddenly, he was 3 up against Poulter and headed for the finals for the second time in three years. Toms lost to Woods two years ago, but he never has felt this good about his game.

And he’ll certainly hang onto that 5-wood, the same club he used to made an ace in the third round of the 2001 PGA Championship, which he won by one shot over Mickelson.

“I can’t seem to find one I can hit any better,” Toms said.

DiMarco’s victory seemed unlikely after he lost the first three holes to Goosen, and stood over a 6-foot par putt on the fifth hole to keep the deficit from getting any worse.

“He got off to a great start,” DiMarco said. “I was just trying not to lose 8 and 7.”
