Westwood unfazed by world ranking

LEE WESTWOOD insists becoming world number one has not increased the pressure on him as he bids to become the first Englishman in 16 years to win the Nedbank Golf Challenge.

The 37-year-old is amongst five European Ryder Cup-winning players that will take part in the event at Sun City this week. Pádraig Harrington is also in the field, and is joined by England’s Ross Fisher, Italy’s Edoardo Molinari and Spain’s Miguel Angel Jimenez. There is also a strong South African contingent – including three-time winner Ernie Els, Tim Clark, Retief Goosen and Louis Oosthuizen, who won the The Open Championship.
