Lee Westwood won the Ballantine's Championship yesterday with a flawless final round of golf to retain his position as World No 1.

The Englishman proved his class at the Blackstone Golf Club near Seoul, carding five birdies on his way to a superb last round 67 and 12 under par for the tournament, a shot clear of Spain's Miguel Angel Jimenez.

Westwood did not drop a single shot on his last round but faced an agonising wait in the clubhouse as Jimenez came up the easy par five 18th breathing down his neck.

"Professional golf is all about winning and it's great to do it back-to-back two weeks in a row," he said.
"When you're World No 1 it's always nice to come to a place and play like you're world number one and I think I did do that this week.

Shiv disappoints
India's Shiv Kapur dropped three bogeys in the last five holes of the third round and another two in the final round to crash to 24th down from provisional fourth.
