Lee Westwood Wins Big at Race To Dubai
His remarkable final round meant he ended on 23 under par, six shots ahead of Ross McGowan.
It makes him just the third golfer in European Tour history to finish European Number One having also won the final event of the season. The last was Colin Montgomerie in 1993.
As well as being his 32nd victory worldwide as a professional and his second victory on The European Tour this season, the win moves Westwood up to World Number Four in the Official World Golf Rankings, matching his highest career position.
Westwood’s win also makes him one of five players to have passed the €19million mark in European Tour Official Career Earnings, just the fifth player to achieve this, and is the second time he has landed over €3million in prize money in a single season.
McGowan carded a final round 68, including five straight birdies from the 12th, to hold on to second place on 17 under par after a sustained charge from Rory McIlroy, who fired five birdies on his back nine before bogeying the par five 18th to sign for a five under par 67 and with it third place place on 15 under par.
Geoff Ogilvy finished down in fourth alongside Padraig Harrington on 14 under par while Alexander Noren ended in sixth a shot further behind.
