The man from Portrush Northern Ireland, Graeme McDowell has just shot 74 for a -3 281 total to win the Andalucia Vaderrama Masters, his 3rd win of his magical year, and he did it in very difficult windy conditions that make this Ryder Cup course so tough..
In fact another Irishman Damien McGrane was leading at -5 after holing out from a bunker on 15, but then the wind and his nerves got the better of him and he finished 6,6,5 to end up at -1 283 for 2nd place along with Soren Kjeldsen (69) and Gareth Maybin (76)
McDowell won 500,000 euros to cut Martin Kaymer's Race to Dubai lead almost in half, and next week is a biggie, the last WGC event of the year in Shanghai, and Tiger and Phil etal will be making the trip as well as Mr Kaymer who finished well down the field.
So next week is the WGC HSBC Champions worth $7m in China followed by the Barclays Singapore Open worth $6m, then the UBS Hong Kong Open worth a mere $2.5m before the season finale the Dubai World Championship worth $7.5m and of course a share of the $10 Race to Dubai jackpot !!
Graeme McDowell is playing in them all !!! Stay tuned !!
