Westwood could miss match play

Ryder Cup pair Lee Westwood and Paul Casey have both entered the Johnnie Walker Classic in Perth on February 19-22.

Westwood's entry means he could now pull out of the following week's Accenture World Match Play Championship in Arizona.

Two weeks ago, the world number 12 said: "You could go to Tucson, get there on the Monday, practice on Tuesday and then fly home on Wednesday night having shot a 65 and a guy shooting 64 beats you.

"It doesn't really fit in with all the stuff I want to do around it. It messes up your schedule for the next couple of weeks as well with it being an eight-hour or seven-hour time change.

"At some point you just have to evaluate it."

In the last five stagings of the World Match Play, he has gone out in the first round three times and in the second round twice.

Greg Norman, third in The Open in July at the age of 53, is also in the Johnnie Walker Classic field.
