Westwood At The Top In the Game

WestwoodIt was Saturday when sun was setting down and it appeared like Westwood Lee was also going down with the sun. Main lead was taken by Heath Slocum with birdies at number 12 and 11, however he has finished with 72. Once the free drop of drain completed, Westwood was surrounded by pine trees, palmetto bushes and water oaks. He was having very less margin for mistake and distance to the hole was 196 yards. Westwood had hit a shot which was nearer to the pin.

At first Westwood joked and told that it was a tough shot, but later on he said that the shot was great. He said he was lucky. Yesterday, when he performed the same shot at that time, he had to cut it out to sideways, but now today he found a nice gap and took its advantage. It was an awesome shot by Westwood from Workshop, England. The ball came above the hole at 35 feet. For the 70th round, Westwood had two-putted. It was a single stroke lead on Robert Allenby that was from Australia and shot 67. It was also two-stroke lead over Francesco Molinari from Italy, Lucas Glover and Ben Crane.

It was a hot day when T.P.C. Sawgrass course was case-hardened and it was ready for some revenge for late starters. Japan’s Ryuji Imada had started with a day stroke and was behind Westwood. His day was started with end-to-end bogeys and he had never recovered. He made a dual bogey at 13th en route, which took him on a 24th position’s tie. Heath Slocum tied with Westwood for a lead along with birdie which was at ninth hole. He also took a lead single-handedly at 15 under. Westwood was very polite in giving answers to all questions which were all related to the losses in the major championships. Players are probably the closest things for them, but they are not from those four majors.

For Westwood, it was a moment to remember that how Mickelson came to him. He came to filch that one and at that time he was not thinking about any suggestions. He only thought about winning on Sunday. Now he is ready to win the first event, since 1998 in United States, New Orleans’s Freeport McMoran Classic. Westwood has got a nice opportunity to stand ahead of the line.
