Lowry wins Portugal Masters

Shane Lowry has won the first professional title of his career with a one-shot victory at the Portugal Masters.

The Irishman enjoyed three birdies and an eagle on the back nine of the Oceanico Victoria Golf Course, but a bogey on the final hole left him on 14-under-par.

He then faced a nervous wait in the clubhouse as a birdie on the 18th would have handed the trophy to Ross Fisher.

However, the Englishman could only bogey the hole to hand Lowry the victory.

Australian Michael Campbell ended a shot further back, while overnight leader Bernd Wieseberger carded a two-over 73 to give him a final score of 11-under.
