Lee is looking forward to this week's European Tour event, the Portugal Masters at Oceanico Victoria GC, Vilamoura in Portugal. He finished in 16th place here last year.
Paired with Colin Montgomerie and Oliver Wilson, Lee had an 8.30 (GMT+2) start from the 10th on Thursday and 13.00 from the 1st on Friday.
Lee produced a good first round when he birdied 11,12,15 and 17 to go out in 32. At the turn he was in an eight-way tie for lead, along with another Worksopian and stablemate, Mark Foster. This was despite being stung by a wasp at the 17th! Lee continued to add birdies at 2,5 and 6 but made his only error at 7 when he dropped a shot, ending the day with a six-under, 66, in a four-way tie for 5th place. Recording a second round 67, Lee was 11-under for the event, just four shots behind the lead, in T6th place.
Alastair Forsyth was paired with Lee for the third round, with a 13.23 tee-time and Lee added another 66 to his card and was now in sole third place on 17-under par, three shots behind leader, Retief Goosen.
He had a final tee-time of 13.31 with Pablo Martin, starting the day with four birdies in the first four holes.
"I felt very comfortable", Lee said. "I started off hitting good shots, could have birdied 5. I played patient golf, 7 was playing hard, hit a driver and a 3-wood. 9 was tucked away and didn't go for that. 10 was tucked away and didn't go for that. And I birdied the two par 5s on the back nine. Made a couple of nice up-and-downs at 15".
Problems occurred when he went long and left at the 589-yard 17th and although he was able to take a free drop, he still faced a tricky shot. Lee played a majestic 30 yard lob wedge shot from behind trees on the 17th which he almost holed and tapped it in for a birdie.
"At 17, I just got stuck between 3-iron and 5-wood on the fairway there on a bit of an upslope and it was right on the limit of 3-iron. 3-iron in the practise round is one thing, but you know when you're leading the tournament and you've got a shot, tried to cut a 5-wood in, and watched it and it came out dead straight. I can't think I've ever played a better chip and I don't ever want to play one again. Looking through the trees, I could see water, so no, it wasn't a very good lie, because the crowd had been walking around there as well on that green. It came out perfect. and that's down to all the work I've been doing with Pete Cowen at home on the chipping green".
With a final round of 66, Lee won the event with a two-shot lead on 23-under par and with prize money of €500,000 (£457,000), moves into top spot in the Race to Dubai with €2,241,940. This will be Lee's 19th European Tour win. Lee has moved up in World Ranking to 5th place.
"It feels great (to win). It's obviously been over two years since the last win, and you do start to doubt yourself a little bit when you get into contention and don't finish it off. So it's nice to get back on the winning trail, and looking forward to the rest of the season, now I'm leading the Order of Merit, but that could change next week. All I can keep doing is ...winning!
"There's still a long way to go ( in the Race to Dubai). Playing for a fortune over the next few weeks, match play, HSBC, Hong Kong and then Dubai. My goal for the rest of the year is to keep working hard and playing well. Winning is definitely a habit and I got out of the habit. Hopefully now I have won again I can win more."
