Overnight, the 32-year old had been trailing Argentina's
Daniel Vancsik at the start of the final day's play, but
a nine-foot eagle on the 12th followed by a birdie on
the par-3 13th set Webster on course for a memorable
victory.
Previously, the Englishman had only lifted a trophy
once before on the European Tour when he won the Italian
Open two years ago.
Webster's total of 25 under is the lowest of the
season and was followed by Sweden's Robert Karlson.
Following the event, Portuguese authorities, in
looking to build the Algarve's image as a quality golf
destination even further, announced that the 2008
Portugal Masters will see its prize money increase from
three to four million euros and will be taking place
between October 16 and 19 next year.
Last year, 1.4 million full rounds of golf were
played on Portuguese courses, resulting in the booking
of 1.1 million nights at hotels, most of which were
taken up by the 300,000 golfing tourists who visited
Portugal in 2006.
