It spoiled the debut of Westwood, a 37-year-old Englishman, atop the world ranking, but he put up a fight worthy of his ranking.
Westwood, coping with a calf injury throughout the summer, managed to play without a bogey on the weekend, and his 67 in the final round put him at 18-under 270, good enough to beat the rest of the field by nine shots.
The golf was at such a high level that neither player in the final group made a bogey.
