Quintic and Dr Paul Hurrion would like to congratulate Steve Webster who claimed his second European Tour title in emotional fashion when a superb final round 64. His final round putting display of 27 putts enable for a 25 under par total of 263 which saw the 32 year old Englishman win the Portugal Masters.
Webster’s last success was over two years ago in the 2005 Telecom Italia Open and when his second win came under glorious skies at Oceanico Victoria Golf Club, he achieved it in equally glorious style, before collapsing in tears in the arms of his caddie John Mulrooney.
When he embraced his father Terry at greenside, the emotions became even rawer and totally understandable as it had only been five months ago when his wife, Steve’s beloved mother Valerie, passed away.
“I was thinking about her all the way round,” said Webster. “Losing my mum really knocked me about. I didn’t even think I’d get my card because it was quite tough.
“It was so hard to keep my mind on my golf. I knew she was watching out for me and it’s an amazing feeling to play that well down the stretch.”
Congratulations Steve, briallant eagle on 12!
