Langer sings Westwood's praises

Europe’s Ryder Cup captain Bernhard Langer would be “very surprised” if England’s back-to-form Lee Westwood does not automatically qualify to take part in next year’s showdown against the United States.

An out-of-the-blue victory at the BMW International Open in Munich during August and a brilliant triumph in last weekend’s dunhill links championship means Westwood tops the European points list.
