Vilamoura - Australia's Richard Green capitalised on overnight leader Pablo Martin's misfortune to win the Portugal Masters here on Sunday.
Green, seven shots off the Spaniard after Saturday's third round, had an eventful final round with 11 birdies and four bogeys for a seven under par 65 for an 18 under par total of 270.
Martin had bogeys at the 15th and 16th but a birdie at the 17th left him only requiring a birdie at the final hole to force a play-off with Green, watching from the clubhouse.
But he fluffed his lines, driving into the water and finishing with a double bogey for a total of 15 under par 273 for a tie for sixth.
The round of the day belonged to Ryder Cup star Francesco Molinari with nine birdies and an eagle at the par-five third for a 10-under par round and a share of second on 16 under 272 with Swede Robert Karlsson, Spaniard Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano and Joost Luiten of Holland.
England's David Dixon and Ireland's Paul Lawrie shared sixth with Martin.
