Three months after firing the lowest-ever round by an amateur in the Open, the 20-year-old from Welwyn Garden City shot another 65 as he took the £375,166 first prize by two strokes from Spain's Rafael Cabrera-Bello.
Tiger Woods needed five tournaments to land his first professional title, while Rory McIlroy did not taste success until his 38th European Tour event.
Lewis was five strokes outside the halfway cut mark when he bogeyed the opening two holes of his second round on Friday. But he turned that into a 64, was four behind Cabrera-Bello with 18 holes to go and seized his chance brilliantly as those ahead of him made mistakes.After pitching to six feet on the 14th, he drove the green at the 315-yard next, two‑putted for another birdie, made a 25-footer from the fringe of the short 16th and two-putted again on the par five 17t - http://www.guardian.co.ukh.
