Heath expecting Colsaerts battle

-

GOLF: David Drysdale and James Heath both came through playoffs to advance to the quarterfin­als of the inaugural Belgian Knockout. After 36 holes of regular stroke play on Thursday and Friday, the action turned to knockout yesterday, with the top 64 from days one and two facing off over nine holes of stroke play. Englishman Heath finished a shot behind leader Jorge Campillo after the first two days, with Scot Drysdale six strokes further back, but they both won three matches yesterday to make the last eight. Heath next faces home favourite and 2012 Ryder Cup star Nicolas Colsaerts ‘It will be good,’ Heath said afterwards. ‘Obviously the big home favourite, only Belgian guy left in.’ Drysdale, meanwhile, will tee it up against Frenchman Victor Perez.
