Rose victorious in Turkish Airlines final

Rose had got the better of Westwood in the group stages at Antalya Golf Club before beating 14-time major winner Tiger Woods in the semi-finals.

Westwood had shot a 64 in his final group game and then a stunning round of 61 a few hours later in his semi-final win over former Masters champion Charl Schwartzel, but was unable to reproduce such devastating scoring and had to settle for 'just' 1million US Dollars (£623,000) as runner-up.

Rose never trailed in the match after holing from 25ft for birdie on the first, but saw a two-shot lead cut in half on the 16th when he surprisingly missed from three feet for birdie after Westwood had holed from three times the distance.

However, Rose responded superbly with a long-range birdie two on the 17th to give himself some breathing space on the last, which proved welcome after Westwood made birdie to complete a 67 and lose by just one shot.

"I hit a poor putt on 16 and Lee flipped the script on me," Rose said.

"I thought his ball was in the hazard - it was actually plugged in the rough - and then he makes four and I make five, and from that moment on it's going to be a tight finish.

"He hit a great shot into 17 and I really felt like I needed to make that putt, and the 17th against Phil came to mind, just drawing on positive experiences."

Rose has now won more than USD3million in four weeks after claiming USD1.6million for finishing second in the Tour Championship the week before the Ryder Cup.

And he admitted his wife Kate might be upgrading the plans for the house they are currently having built in the Bahamas after his lucrative end to the season.

"I think the Tour Championship sparked the good play for sure," Rose added. "I had not had a good FedEx Cup play-off run until then, it was nice to get in contention.

"I played in the last group every day in the Tour Championship and that's something I really enjoyed.

"That prepared me well for the Ryder Cup and I came off that with great feelings, the most amazing pressure putts of my life, and the 17th green has been really good to me again this week."

Westwood had to settle for "just" USD1million as runner-up, but was delighted to have quickly hit top form ahead of a busy end to the season.

"We both played really well, the slight difference was on the greens," Westwood said. "Justin rolled in a couple of 20-footers, one crucial one on 17, and the longest I made was nine feet on 16.

"I left a lot of chances out there but that's the way it goes sometimes.

"I knew before today he was rolling it well on the greens, he showed that against Mickelson at the Ryder Cup. I played him earlier in the week and he shot 66, so I figured I needed something around there.

"I think it's been a great week. Other than the financial rewards it's been good to get back on the course after the Ryder Cup and edge your way back into scoring.

"I think I am 22 under for five rounds so it's a good way to refocus for the rest of the year."
