Westwood takes tough stand on Straits

THE PGA Championship week could hardly have opened on a brighter note for Lee Westwood.

He interrupted his practice yesterday to listen to the race at Windsor where his horse Tequila Sheila was running. The Irish-trained (K.R. Burke) and ridden (Kieran Fallon) horse romped home at 7-1 and there were some quiet celebrations in the International Sports Management (ISM), team with manager Chubby Chandler and Darren Clarke among the part owners. Between them, they have around 16 horses in training.

Whether that’s the end of the good news for the 31-year-old Englisman remains to be seen. He has already noticed how difficult it is to find this golf course as he quipped.
