Westwood optimistic after tests in hospital

LEE WESTWOOD was involved in a hospital drama in Paris yesterday, but still hopes to play the Alstom French Open today.

There was real concern for the world number three after he was initially told that swelling in his right calf and ankle might be a blood clot.

But after pulling out of the pro-am at Le Golf National – as Ian Poulter, Colin Montgomerie and Matteo Manassero did for different reasons – and being driven away with his wife Laurae, further tests brought good news.
