Westwood in tears after victory

LEE WESTWOOD broke down in tears after his BMW International Open victory yesterday as he revealed how close he came to quitting the game during three years of misery.

Westwood carded a final-round 66 at Nord-Eichenried for a 19-under total of 269 and three-shot victory over Germany's Alex Cejka to claim the £207,000 first prize.

The 30-year-old had not won since the last of his seven victories worldwide in 2000 which saw him end Colin Montgomerie's seven-year reign as European number one.
