Golf news: Westwood wins Portugal Masters.

Published: 19 October 2009

Golfer Lee Westwood has won the Portugal Masters, after beating golf-apparel clad Italian Francesco Molinari by two shots.

The victory breaks Westwood's losing steak of two years and sees him go to the top of the European Tour money list as well as move up to fifth place in the world rankings.

Westwood last donned his golf clothing and won back in 2007 at the British Masters, but has come close to scooping the top trophy in tournaments including the US Open.

Overall, Westwood has scooped 26 top ten finishes in the last two years.

Commenting on his victory, Westwood said: "Winning is definitely a habit and I got out of the habit. It was nice to finish it off - you never know when the next win is going to come and you start to question yourself."

Padraig Harrington came third in the tournament, with Sweden's Peter Hansen fourth and Germany's Marcel Siem coming in fifth place.
