AUSTRALIA'S Richard Green shot a final-round seven under par to claim the Portugal Masters title as overnight leader Pablo Martin fell apart in Vilamoura.
Martin led by three strokes overnight but went round in 75 yesterday, three over, to finish in a tie for sixth on 15 under par.
That allowed Green to storm through from seven shots back courtesy of an eventful round which saw him card 11 birdies against four bogeys.
He claimed the clubhouse lead on 18 under par and faced an anxious wait as Martin complete his round.
The Spaniard hit back-toback bogeys at the 15th and 16th, but a birdie at 17 meant a final birdie would have sent him into a play-off.
It was not to be as a second double bogey of his round, after driving into the water, meant he even missed out on second. The round of the day belonged to Ryder Cup star Francesco Molinari, with nine birdies in his second 10-under-par of the weekend.
