Surprise win for left hander Green in Portugal.

The Australian left-hander, thought he had blown his chances with bogies at the 16th and 18th to set a clubhouse target of 18 under par.

It looked for much of the afternoon that Green was going to be beaten to the title by Spain's Pablo Martin, who had a 7 shot advantage over Green starting the last round. Martin filtered away shot's, finding water on two occassions and finished up signing for a 75 that left him down in a share of 6th with Peter Lawrie on -15.

Paul McGinley and Shane Lowry took home €10,500 for a share of 54th on 6 under par.
