Three months short of turning 47, England's Lee Westwood put together a masterclass in leading from the front as he won the $7 million Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship on Sunday by two shots. The two-time European Tour number one started the final round one ahead of his closest rivals Bernd Wiesberger and Francesco Laporta, and even though several players made a charge towards him, he never relinquished his lead throughout the day. Westwood made six birdies in his round of five-under par 67 to finish on 19-under par 269 for his 25th title on the European Tour and his 44th internationally. Currently ranked 63rd in the world, he is expected to rise to number 29 on Monday.
