Westwood on the charge in St Andrews

Lee Westwood gave himself a chance to become world number one with a superb charge at Carnoustie today, but little-known John Parry was still the man to catch in the Dunhill Links Championship.

Struggling this week with a recurrence of his calf injury and needing a first or second place finish to dethrone Tiger Woods, Westwood went to the turn in a brilliant 33 and when he birdied the 406-yard first as well he was up from 32nd overnight to joint seventh spot.
