CAPE TOWN, Jan 4 (Reuters) - Two-time European Tour winner and former World Cup of Golf champion Wayne Westner died in a suspected suicide in South Africa on Wednesday. Westner, 55, was found dead with a gunshot wound to the head and a pistol next to his body at the home of his estranged wife in Pennington south of Durban. Westner won the South African Open in 1988 and 1991, but retired in 1998 when he tore ligaments in his ankle while playing a tournament in Portugal. Ernie Els, with whom Westner won the World Cup of Golf in 1996, led the tributes to his compatriot.
