Lee Westwood Wins the Nedbank Challenge

We are so happy for him...

The former world number one took the outright lead from Louis Oosthuizen with a birdie at 17, completing the back nine in 31 to finish on 15 under behind Spain’s overnight leader Sergio Garcia.

 

“I’m a bit emotional to be honest.” said a tearful Westwood, 45. He told Sky Sports: “You’re never sure whether you’re going to be able to do it again.

Until now my emotions felt really under control all day, which is what I’ve been working hard on. I was just trying to hit fairways, stick to my gameplan and hit it in the right places.

"I’ve got a bit of process I’m going through with my golf swing, I’m starting to see better shots; the seven iron into 17 is probably one of the best shots I’ve hit and it all just worked.”

What a win, a teamwork celebration followed with caddie and girlfriend Helen Storey after holing a putt on the 18th.

The win was Westwood’s 24th on the European Tour and his third at the Nedbank.

Many congrats Westy, from all of us at Druh.
