World No.1 Lee Westwood has won the Ballantine's Championship to make it two tournament victories in the space of a week.

The Englishman, who last weekend took out the Indonesia Masters in Jakarta, posted a 5-under 67 in Sunday's final round to finish at 12-under 276, one shot ahead of Spain's Miguel Angel Jimenez.

Westwood, who started the final round three shots off the lead, birdied the final hole to move into first place for the first time in the tournament.

Westwood said his caddie felt a 68 could be enough to win ''so I am delighted with a 67.''
