BANGKOK (Reuters) - England's Lee Westwood won the Asian Tour's $1 million (636,274 pounds) Thailand Golf Championship by one shot on Sunday after U.S. Open champion Martin Kaymer and third-round leader Marcus Fraser both faltered at the finish.

Westwood bogeyed his opening two holes but then reeled off seven birdies in a blistering 10 hole spell from the sixth to complete a superb five-under-par round of 67 for an eight-under total of 280 and the clubhouse lead.
