Renato Paratore won the British Masters for his second career victory on the European Tour after closing with a 2-under 69.
The Italian golfer’s first dropped shot of the tournament came on his 63rd hole — at No. 9 in his final round — to end his bid to become the first player to win a European Tour event without a bogey since Jesper Parnevik in the 1995 Scandinavian Masters.
Paratore finished on 18 under overall, three strokes ahead of Rasmus Højgaard , as the European Tour made its full return following a four-month suspension because of the coronavirus pandemic with an event held without spectators and featuring regular COVID-19 testing of players and caddies. Lee Westwood, the tournament host and the only player competing this week sitting in the world’s top 50, slumped to a closing 79 which included an 8 on the par-three 9th hole. He finished in 70th place — the last of the players who made the cut — after starting out as favourite.
