Lee Westwood wins Indonesian Masters - - A Step Closer to Regains World Number One Spot

Lee Westwood gave himself every chance to regain golf's world number one ranking on Sunday with a three-stroke win at the Indonesian Masters.

Lee Westwood Celebrates 38th Brithday with Indonesian Masters Victory
Westwood's victory, which came on his 38th birthday, means he will take over top spot if his fellow Englishman Luke Donald - the world number three - fails to win The Heritage event in South Carolina.

Donald, who will become world number one himself with a win in America, heads into the final round of The Heritage with a one-stroke lead over defending champion Jim Furyk.

Westwood reigned supreme at the Royale Jakarta Golf club on Sunday, carding a three-under 69 to move to 19-under for the tournament and claim a three-stroke victory over Thailand's Thongchai Jaidee.

Westwood led by five strokes heading into the final round, but was even at the turn after a birdie at the first was followed by a bogey at the next hole.
 
He steadied however, with birdies at 11 and 12 to take a firm grip on the trophy.

Jaidee shot a bogey-free 65 to claim second on 16-under, with South Korean Park Hyun-bin, Thailand's Thitiphun Chuayprakong, Bangladesh's Siddikur Rahman and Australian Marcus Both sharing third on 13-under.
