Westwoods short game...

I wish my bank balance was as bad as his!

He needs to build himself a new back garden with his earnings

If he manages a W this week it'll be in spite of the short game not because of it.

Nobody is questioning the fact he is a quality golfer.

I bet we'd all love to have Westwood's shortgame, true it doesn't measure up to the likes of Woods and Mickleson but generally shortgame shortcomings only get highlighted in majors when you are trying to save par and don't, the greats like Woods and Ballesteros always seemed to be able just to pull a great recovery shot out of the bag when needed. Westwood like Montgomery and Garcia in his prime IMHO suffers from non positive putting when in good positions, unlike when they putt at the Ryder Cups when all 3 of them have been superb they tend to trickle putts towards the holes rather than have a go at them hence they miss chances in stroke play comps. Didn't they say Nicklaus was poor from 60 yards in and I can remember Alliss having a go at Faldo's chipping one year when he won the Masters

Cant believe we are getting to see Westwood crumble yet Clarkey is doing well and they are practically ignoring him.


EDIT: Typical, as soon as I type that they show Darren on the 14th overshooting the green.

Well Westwood is out but even Mickelson's short game has been a bit flaky.
Clarke on top, with Jimenez - who has them as an each-way double?
