Golf:Australian Richard Green overcame a seven-shot deficit following the third round to win the Portugal Masters on Sunday by two strokes.
Lefthander Green benefited from an error-strewn final round by overnight leader Pablo Martin of Spain to chalk up his third European Tour title, closing with a seven-under-par 65 for an 18-under 270 total.
Martin led by three strokes going into the final round and was four ahead after five holes. However, a dramatic collapse by the Spaniard started with a double-bogey on the seventh after he hooked into water and his game quickly unravelled as he dropped down the leader board after carding a three-over-par 75 on Sunday.
Ryder Cup player Francesco Molinari also surged through the field, compiling his second 62 of the week. That saw the Italian grab a share of second place with Swede Robert Karlsson (67), Spain's Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano (68) and Dutchman Joost Luiten (69).
Dubliner Peter Lawrie was the closest Irish challenger in a tie for sixth on 15 under after a 69 to add to the three rounds of 68 that had gone before. Damien McGrane finished on nine under with a 72, while Michael Hoey was a shot behind him after the same score.
Shane Lowry (70) improved to six under, but Paul McGinley slipped back to the same score with a 75.
