Westwood edges closer to overdue win

Lee Westwood, without a win anywhere for more than two years, led the Portugal Masters with nine holes to play in Vilamoura – and if he stayed there he would go top of the European money list.

In third place overnight, Westwood birdied the first four holes at Oceanico Vilamoura and went two ahead when Francesco Molinari drove into the lake for the second day running at the seventh.
