Westwood gains first win of year

World number six Lee Westwood cruised to a five-shot victory in the Dimension Data Pro-Am on Sunday.

The 26-year-old Englishmen carded a two-under par 70 to secure his first victory on South African soil in only his second tournament of the year.

American Tom Gillis filled the distant runners-up spot after a 72.

South African David Frost fired a best of the day 67 to share third place with Italian Emanuel Canonica, a shot behind Gillis.

Westwood started the day two shots clear of Gillis and was never challenged on his way to a fourth successive sub-par round.

"This is the earliest I've ever won in a year and my game's a lot better than I thought it would be after a long break over Christmas," Westwood said.

Westwood enjoyed a double celebration by winning the pro-am with his father John. It was first time the two had played together in a competitive event.
