Oceanico Ambassador triumphs at Portugal Masters

Oceanico Group ambassador Lee Westwood claims coveted title at Oceanico Victoria course in true style

October 19th 2009 – Oceanico Group has multiple reasons for celebrations today. Firstly, the host venue of the Portugal Masters, the Oceanico Victoria course delivered a sensational setting for the third consecutive year. The course which has become accustomed to praise played the perfect host and was showered with positive comments by the players. Secondly, it was fitting that the award winning Oceanico course would see Oceanico ambassador Lee Westwood claim his first tour title in 2 years. The Algarve has become a second home for the English Ryder Cup star, who began the week in relaxed mood twenty minutes down the road at the Oceanico Amendoeira Resort in a unique floodlit par 3 challenge taking on Ireland as captain of the Rest of the World team. Westwood, who is a home owner at the stunning resort, saw off challenges from Italian Francesco Mollinari and fellow Oceanico ambassador Padraig Harrington. A birdie at the par 5 17th propelled Westwood into the lead which he would not relinquish. In an interview afterwards Westwood was rich in praise for the Oceanico Group.

“ It is great to have a company like Oceanico behind this event. They are one of my sponsors and have shown a great commitment to golf on many levels. It is a great place to come and I know everyone out here on tour really appreciates their investment with Tourismo de Portugal in creating an event of this caliber.”

The Oceanico Group’s investment spans all levels of golf. From the elite to grass roots golf, the company responsible for 8 courses in Portugal is unsurpassed in commitment to golf in Portugal and Europe. With seven of its courses located in the Algarve, Oceanico has taken quality and standard of golf to a whole new level in this region.

“ Lee’s win is a great thrill for us all here. He has been an outstanding Oceanico ambassador and we are over the moon that he has taken this year’s title. It is good for golf in Portugal and Europe when we see some of the world’s best golfers do battle down the last few holes on Sunday afternoon. This is what we committed to achieving with our partners Tourismo de Portugal and the European Tour and this year has been as good as it gets,” commented Gerry Fagan, Director Oceanico Group.

With the Race to Dubai finale nearing, Westwood has now taken top spot. One of the tours richest purses brought with it an impressive field, including Oceanico ambassadors Padraig Harrington, Retief Goosen, Darren Clarke as well as Michael Campbell and Justin Rose.
