Birdies flow again for Westwood

Lee Westwood, who birdied the first five holes in his third-round 66, covered the same stretch in three under today – but that was not enough to retain the outright lead in the Andalucian Open at Aloha.

While defending champion Westwood improved from 12 under to 15 under, 19-year-old Oliver Fisher birdied four of the five and joined him out in front.

The Essex teenager is trying to become the fifth-youngest winner in European Tour history.

Frenchman Thomas Levet matched Westwood’s start to be only one behind.
