He didn't seem overly desperate to make the team from the bit of interview I read. Content with what he has already done, looking at the next stage of his Ryder Cup career. The next tournament is at a bomber's course. That might not suit him now. Does he want to be the player that goes one time too many?Fitzpatrick 16 in the world now and Westwood 36, if Westwood could make the RC team would be an incredible effort

Phenomenal effort incidentally and I'm not questioning his place. I'm just going off his response.
Great to see a player win this who hasn't just parachuted in for this tournament. Westwood has played a number of ET tournaments this year.
I bet Lee Westwood has had more short range birdie putts than anyone this week.
Tee to green I suspect up there with the best this week
The interview I saw on Sky, when asked about playing in the next Ryder Cup it looked like he just wanted to say no.
I agree that it seems he does not want to play in the team, but I think he would like to be assisting in the background.
Question of pressure, I think.
There is a big difference in playing for yourself from playing for a team.
Big pressure on the latter.
My congratulations to him on this latest achievement. Would be wonderful if he could manage a Major.
Scores going backwards in Women's US open today. Clearly freezing cold conditions and playing very long but the pin placements don't look too bad so I'm surprised drop shots are quite so common. Nerves or am i miss judging the difficulty of the course?
They're all dropping shots bar a the odd one, there must be good reason. Hoping Hinako chan can hang on for the win.
Well, overall a pretty low key and unexciting tournament for the TV viewer.
We need to remember these aren't choreographed exhibitions, they are just coverage of
Tough weather conditions, a tough course, a few players wearing masks, a quickfire birdie-fest at the end to virtually finish the tournament an hour before it ended, it didn't really catch fire like I hoped.
The Tour Champs starts in 3 days... Onwards and upwards.
Congrats to A Lim Kim - she certainly went out and won it on a tough day with most players struggling.
Anthony Kim translating for her at the prizegiving!
