Lee Westwood Sorry about Swearing

Golfer Lee Westwood knew that he was in difficulty when him mum called him after his final round at the Qatar Masters. He was caught on tv cursing after his tee shot on the sixteenth and the first person to tell him off for that was his mum!

After Westwood’s 3-under 69 put the golfer in a tie for twelfth, Lee was told by his mum that everyone had heard him swear, and was ordered to apologize. Westwood went on to birdie the sixteenth.

Westwood quickly turned to social networking site Twitter and posted, “Sorry about swearing on the 16th tee. Came off like a rocket and thought it was going further! Wash my mouth out! Perils of live TV!”

Lee is in the Emirates for the Dubai Desert Classic event that begins on Thursday. Ranked 3rd in the world, Westwood is one of the favourites to grab the title in Dubai, partly because of his previous success at the Emirates Golf Club, which included a 2nd placed finish in 2010.

WESTWOOD WINS IN THAILAND

World No. 3 Lee Westwood ended 2011 on a high note by holding off Charl Schwartzel’s challenge and wining the Thailand Golf Championship.

The Nedbank Challenge Winner at South Africa, scored a 69 in the final round to end with a total of 266, 22 under par which was seven shots clear of closest competitor Charl Schwartzel’s with Michael Thompson at third and, Simon Dyson, finishing in a tie for fourth at 12 under.

Westwood’s birdies at the second and third put him one under through the front nine and he matched Schwartzel’s birdie at 12 and went further ahead by claiming another consecutive one. His birdies at 12 and 13 made his position a lot more comfortable and he looked to be on his way to the title.

Schwartzel deteriorated his position and the chance to challenge Lee Westwood by bogeying the penultimate hole and fell back further with a five in the last one.

Lee Westwood’s objective in 2012 is to end his quest of winning a major, and he has rejoined the US Tour to that end. He said that he would be working on his fitness and and all aspects of his game. He feels he is going in the right direction and can see a lot of improvement already with his game. He added that he was happy with the way he finished the year, as he has now won two out the last three events he participated in. He said that his current form and results makes him go into the winter with a lot of confidence and he would try to come out next year playing the same kind of golf as he has been playing over the week, albeit a leaner and well rested.

WESTWOOD RUES MISSED RECORD

Lee Westwood has managed another spell of incredible and awe aspiring golf by leading the charts at this year’s Thailand Gold Open. This world number three golfer has managed to play along with the magical figure of 65 before he managed to leap up and rise above the rest in the chart of leader boards with a score of 60 of a 12 under par towards the end of the season.

He has no need to be disappointed with his score of 60 although he feels that he personally could have done better as he had missed quite a number of shots in the middle.
