SHANGHAI — Lee Westwood did everything expected out of the No. 1 player in the world at the HSBC Champions.

Except win.

In only his second stroke-play tournament in three months, and his first since replacing Tiger Woods atop the world ranking, Westwood went into the weekend just one shot behind Francesco Molinari. The Englishman didn’t make a single bogey over the final two rounds, matched the low round of the day on Saturday and Sunday, and wound up in the same spot he started.

Molinari also shot 67-67 on the weekend, including a key birdie on the 16th hole that gave him a cushion, and went on to win the HSBC Champions by one shot for his first victory in four years.
