Lee Westwood triumphs in Thailand

Lee Westwood has won the Thailand Golf Championship after a closing 69 saw him claim a seven-shot win.

The Englishman began the tournament sensationally and was 18-under-par after the first two rounds.

He finished the tournament on 22-under, seven clear of Masters champion Charl Schwartzel.

"I think it's safe to say it's the best I've ever played," 38-year-old Westwood said afterwards.

"This is not an easy golf course as the scores would suggest, especially when the wind picks up as it did over the weekend.

"20-under-par was, well, I amazed myself really. It was staggering, I had to laugh at times."

The win sees Westwood move above Rory McIlroy to second in the world rankings.
