World number three Lee Westwood has taken his Masters preparation to the US PGA Houston Open this week with hopes of pulling off his first major triumph next week at the Augusta National. He has finished in the top three at five of the past 10 major championships, including runner-up in both the Masters and British Open in 2010 and joint-third at the 2011 US Open and the 2009 British Open and PGA.
“I think it proves I’m capable of winning major championships,” said Westwood. Instead of hanging his head over near-misses, Westwood has taken confidence from coming so close. “It makes me look forward to major championships and I think my game is better equipped to tackle these golf courses.”
