Westwood changes tactics

UNDER instructions from Billy Foster his caddie, Lee Westwood is trying something completely different this week – and so far it is certainly working.

Risky or not, Westwood is not looking at leaderboards as he plays the Dubai World Championship, but at halfway he is two in front and on course for a £1.6 million jackpot tomorrow.

Up for grabs is not only one of the richest tournaments in European Tour history, but also the Order of Merit crown he last wore nine years ago. Win the event and he wins that too.
