Westwood among the leaders

Lee Westwood put himself into contention at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational today and credited his strong US Open finish at Torrey Pines for helping him get there.

Westwood shot a five-under-par second-round 65 at the Firestone Country Club to lie two shots behind halfway leader Vijay Singh, with Phil Mickelson separating them at six under.
