Westwood keen to end Major drought

LEE WESTWOOD has seen the glittering prize slip through his fingers in his last three major starts.

But following his play-off win in the St Jude Classic in sweltering Memphis on Sunday he’s hoping to maintain his red-hot form in the cool breezes of Pebble Beach and finally end his major drought at the 50th attempt.

While Ireland’s Rory McIlroy, his stablemate and Europe’s No 2, is playing in just seventh major and only his sixth as a professional, Westwood is battle hardened like no other.
