Levy claims golf win in rain-hit Portugal

A final-round washout at the Portugal Masters has helped France's Alexander Levy claim his second career title.

France's Alexander Levy claimed a second career title on Sunday when he won the Portugal Masters after the third and final round had to be abandoned due to heavy rain in Vilamoura.

In a tournament already reduced to 54 holes by lightning and heavy rain, another deluge left parts of the course unplayable shortly after the final group had teed off at 1pm.

The result was then called at 36 holes.

Levy, 24, carded rounds of 63 and 61 to finish with an 18 under par total having been just one of six players to complete their second rounds on Friday.

His title on Sunday came after winning the China Open in April.

Belgium's Nicolas Colsaerts, who just missed a first ever 59 on the European Tour in the first round, was in second place, three shots off the lead.
