Lee Westwood ended a two-year wait for a title with an emphatic seven-stroke victory to clinch the rain-soaked Malaysian Open in style on Sunday.

The Englishman, who saw his lead trimmed to a single stroke on Saturday, cut a composed figure going into the final round as he notched a clean-card score, including four birdies, to finish at four-under 68 and reclaim the title he last won in 1997.

A four-hour delay due to torrential rain at the Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club did nothing to deter the former world No.1, who carded two birdies after the delay.

He completed his win in style when he holed a 20-foot (6.01-meter) birdie putt on the last for an 18-under-par 270 winning total to celebrate his first title since the 2012 Nordea Masters.
