Lee Westwood Might Falter Over Weekend at British Open
3 years agoThe concern with Lee Westwood is not how he starts but really how he finishes. The 48-year-old has been great in his last few majors on Thursday and Friday. Saturday and Sunday tell a different tale. He shot a 77 on Sunday in particular at the PGA Championship. Then, at the US Open, it was another Sunday 77 that derailed any hopes of a good finish. With Westwood, the worry is not about tune-up tournaments, etc. It is more about the weekend. Does his game hold up? The answer has been no because of his drop in around the green play and putting. Westwood used to be top-30 in both disciplines but now is outside the top-75. Again, he has some upside but some risk too.
