British Masters report and final totals
Noren wins from Wiesberger and Westwood
FROM THE EUROPEAN TOUR WEBSITE
Alex Noren won the British Masters supported by Sky Sports by two shots to secure his third European Tour title of the season.
The Swede, who has also tasted victory at the Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open and Omega European Masters this year, produced a closing 69 at The Grove to finish on 18 under par, two strokes ahead of nearest challenger Bernd Wiesberger.
Home favourite Lee Westwood finished third after posting a superb final-round 67 to reach 15 under.
Play was suspended early on Sunday due to flooded greens but the fourth round got under way at 10.05 local time, with some players starting at the tenth tee.
Beginning the day with a three-shot lead, Noren made the perfect start to his fourth round, notching birdies at each of his first two holes to climb to 18 under.
Noren dropped his first shot of the day at the eighth after narrowly missing his ten foot birdie putt.
The 34 year old then saw his advantage reduced to a single shot when he carded another bogey at the 11th.
And he dropped into a share of the lead when Austrian Wiesberger holed his 12-foot birdie putt at the long 15th to join him on 16 under.
But Noren regained the outright lead immediately, notching a birdie at the 15th to get back to 17 under.
After safely parring the next two holes, Noren finished with a tap-in birdie at the last to clinch his seventh European Tour title in all.
