May13 Westwood wins

Lee Westwood bagged his first win for four years after a nervy final round at the Andalucia Open.

He knocked in a 40-footer on the last for a final-round 67 to give him a total of 20 under, two better than Phillip Archer and Fredrik Andersson.

Former European No1 Westwood said: “It seems to get harder to win, it was a struggle on the back nine, but I hadn’t thought about the fact I hadn’t won for a while.  It’s nice to be back in the winners’ circle.

“I felt comfortable out there, and made three birdies out of the traps early on. That gave me a nice comfort zone.”

“I want to get back into the world top 50 so I can get in the US Open, and there’s nothing but positives to come out of a win.”
