Westwood through to second round in Tucson

Lee Westwood got the European challenge at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club off to a flying start as the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship began near Tucson today.

The Englishman, one of 20 Europeans and a record 47 European Tour members in the 64-man field at the first World Golf Championships event of the year, moved into the second round with a bogey-free, five-birdie 2&1 win over Thailand's Prayad Marksaeng in the opening match of first-round play.
