Spain's Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano needed a play-off to beat Lee Westwood and deny the Englishman his defence of the British Masters at the Belfry. The pair played the 18th three times before they could be split after Westwood hit a final round 70 and the Spaniard a 67 to finish 12 under. Trading 10-foot putts on the first two play-off holes for par, Fernandez-Castano produced another to win. The Spaniard's par provided an unexpected ending, with Westwood on his return from a disappointing Ryder Cup looking favourite for the title all week. "This is probably the best victory of my four, especially beating such a player as Lee," Fernandez-Castano told reporters after celebrating his win by leaping into the Belfry's lake. New Zealand's Michael Campbell was third on 10 under par. Sunday's shootout defeat left Westwood without a win this season but moved him up to second place on Europe's money-list. "I felt I am at the end of my tether and running on empty, so to get into a playoff was good," Westwood said. "I made some inroads on the order of merit but I'm still missing a win this year." |
