Relaxed Lee Westwood won’t fall foul of elements

So after ferocious Thursday when a series of thunderstorms wreaked havoc on Oakmont Country Club, Mother Nature was in a gentle mood Friday morning. Thus did Billy Foster sit comfortably, enveloped by a warm, morning breeze.

It had been one of the longest rounds of golf in his lengthy career as a caddie — approximately 26 hours — but Foster laughed.

True enough, he and Lee Westwood had teed off just after 8am Thursday and now it was 10am Friday, but the good night’s sleep in between left him fresh.
