Lee Westwood reveals anger at Ryder Cup team-mate Chris Wood over World Cup of Golf snub... after he had booked his flight to Melbourne event


  • Chris Wood and Andy Sullivan will represent England at the World Cup
  • It was originally due to be Danny Willett and Lee Westwood playing
  • But Willett pulled out, leaving Wood as No 1, with his choice of partner
  • He selected Sullivan even though Westwood had made travel plans

I think Wood has made the right choice, if he wishes to have a chance to win the event.
 
Or they could get rid of the idea of the no1 choosing his partner.

Russell Knox has chosen a guy no-one's heard of that he played with as a kid to represent Scotland. To be fair there aren't that many in-form Scots out there at the moment anyway but the fact that some of the top ranked players from each country are picking their mates to play doesn't do much for the event.

He just got his European tour card from the challenge tour, so i say fair play Russell.
 
If he was previously chosen and has incurred he costs he should either, be the one to play, or be refunded.
Can't Sulli' pay him to take his flights/accomodation?



Er....Lee currently leading in Dubai at -6, Sullivan at +4.....

Just sayin'....

Are you letting facts get in the way of a "we hate Westwood" thread?
 
I wonder how much he's actually spent on flights.. Him, Caddy, New Burd, maybe others. Plus the change to schedule.
It appears its only a bit of a jolly anyway, he should of just took LW unless they don't get on etc..
 
Nothing wrong with Wood taking Sulli, might as well play with someone he wants to instead of having to play with Westwood just because he was previously picked.

Should have been up to Willett to check what happens if he drops out and discussed it with Westwood.
 
Why ?

Wood has done nothing wrong so why should Lee be unhappy with him ?

Should he not be upset at the rules officials ?

Lee must have been aware off the rules, I would question Willets descision before blaming Wood.

I didn't say he was blaming Wood - just seems that is seems fair reason to be unhappy that he adjusted his schedule to make sure he was sorted for the World Cup and that's all been changed last minute.

I would hope that Willett and Wood had the discussion and spoke to Westwood about and if not then that's a reason to be unhappy with Wood because would expect professional courtesy to speak to Westwood.

I'm sorry if that doesn't sit with your clear campaign against Westwood but for me I can see why he would be unhappy just as I would if it's any player who was in the same situation
 
Why not pick the 2 highest ranked players and if they don't want to play go down the list.

Obviously representing your country doesn't seem that important for some of these guys.
 
If Willett chose Westwood and Westwood was officially announced as representing his Country at a World Cup and then dropped through no fault of his own then he, imo, has a right to be pissed off, if Willett gave him the nod with nothing made public, then suck it up.
Wood as No1 has the right to choose his playing partner.
