In three years of this event, Westwood has never finished outside of the top-30 and notably finished 11th last season and in eighth the year before that. A win this week would catapult Westwood into the heat of the Race to Dubai chase.

Lee Westwood

No. 45, Improved Form This Month

It’s hard to look past how poorly Lee Westwood played at the Ryder Cup, but by no means did that mark the end of the Englishman’s relevance at the top of the world game either. The winner of two European Order Of Merit titles, Westwood knows how to get the job done late in the year too.

In the time since the Ryder Cup, Westwood’s game has recovered somewhat too. Next year, he will serve as the host of the British Masters, but for this season a third placed finish will certainly be enough for him to be associated with. While if not for a third round 77, Westwood could even have done much better than 29th at the WGC-HSBC Champions last week.
