Westwood needs to win the season-ending Volvo Masters at Valderrama to have a chance of pipping Swede Robert Karlsson, and a brilliant finish to his rain-delayed second round re-ignited his challenge.

The man who ended Colin Montgomerie's seven-year reign as number one in 2000 played the last 11 holes in six under par to climb into a tie for second place only two behind Dane Soren Kjeldsen. And that became only one behind Kjeldsen and Sergio Garcia in the six holes of his third round which were possible before another downpour suspended play again.

If Westwood wins the tournament on Sunday - the weather will dictate whether it is decided over three or four rounds - Karlsson will have to be second or third to retain top spot on the money list.

But after 11 holes of his round, the Swede was down in a share of 28th spot on five over.

When the hold up came Kjeldsen had been caught for the second time in the day by Garcia. They were five under, with Westwood four under and Londoner Anthony Wall three under.

Padraig Harrington's hopes of a second Order of Merit crown in three years were not over yet either as he turned in a superb 32 to climb to two over and joint 18th.

He can finish in the top two and overtake Karlsson, although a Westwood victory would deny him.
