Westwood shines for holders

Lee Westwood improved his Seve Trophy record to a hugely impressive nine wins out of 11 with another majestic display at El Saler in Spain today.

Westwood, oozing confidence again after ending his slump with two wins this autumn, had two eagles and four birdies as he and Howell thrashed Thomas Bjorn and Sergio Garcia five and three in the second series of fourballs.
