Westwood moves up to second in the world rankings, behind Luke Donald 

Lee Westwood ended 2011 on a high with a seven-shot win over Charl Schwartzel at the Thailand Golf Championship.

The 38-year-old Englishman fired a closing 69 to end 22 under and move above Northern Ireland's Rory McIlory into second in the world rankings.

Westwood made a stunning start to the Asian Tour event and was a record 18 under par after 36 holes.

"I've amazed myself really," he said. "It's been staggering. It's probably the best I've ever played."
