| Lee Westwood | News: England's Westwood, at 23-under, closed out the best season of his career with a final round eight-under 64 to claim victory by six shots at the European Tour's World Golf Championship, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Fellow countryman Ross Magowan was second at 17-under, Rory McIlroy (No. Ireland) was third at 15-under. Padraig Harrington (Ireland) and Geoff Ogilvy (Australia) tied for fourth at 14-under. Westwood won both the tournament ($1.25 million) and the Race to Dubai money list ($1.5 million) and advanced to #4 on the Official World Golf Rankings. Notes: Westwood racked up his 32nd career win and second claim to the Order of Merit, the European Tour money list. He had 25 birdies against two bogeys, the last being some 46 holes back in the second round. He's come close, but still lacks a win on the PGA Tour. In 2009 he tied for 23rd at the U.S. Open, T-3 at the British Open and T-3 at the PGA Championship. He finished a solo third at the 2008 U. S. Open. While not a PGA Tour member, he plays the majors and the WGC events and a few others. |
