Westwood sank a 40-foot putt for birdie on the 16th hole and a 30-footer for eagle at No. 17 for his second victory of the season. He had a four-round total of 15-under 273. "I'm delighted to win," said Westwood, who won the Andalucian Open in May. "This is a very prestigious tournament in Britain, and it's only an hour from where I live." Ian Poulter (70) was second at 278 and was one stroke behind with three holes to play. Mark Foster, the leader after the second and third rounds, shot a 74 and finished third, one behind Poulter.
