Lee Westwood


Residence: Worksop, England
DOB: 24/04/1973
Lee Westwood has for many years been one of Europe’s finest golfers. As an amateur he won the British Youth Championship in 1993 and turned professional the same year. He won his first professional tournament - the Volvo Scandinavian Masters – in 1996 and has since won another 16 times on the European Tour – in addition to which he has also won numerous events in Asia, Australia and the US. 2000 was his most successful year to date, with an astonishing 7 tournament victories which saw him win the European Order of Merit, finally knocking Colin Montgomerie off the top spot. In 2003 he won the BMW and the Dunhill Links – but then followed a few win-less years. By 2006 he was back to form and was a member of GB&I’s victorious Ryder Cup Team at the K Club where he further enhanced his superb Ryder Cup record when, for the second successive time, he remained unbeaten in all five matches. Has had a great start to 2007, winning the Valle Romano Open de Andalucia in May. Lee is married to married Laura Coltart, sister of fellow European Tour player, Andrew. Played rugby, soccer and cricket to a high standard at school – and remains a big Nottingham Forest fan.

 2008  Irish Open

Played at the magnificent Adare Manor Hotel & Golf Resort from 15th - 18th May 2008, the championship was memorable not only because Richard Finch's victory, but by his falling into the River Maigue after hitting his third shot on th 18th. His second shot ended up on the fringe of the riverbank but he still decided to go for the green. The might swipe he gave it knocked him off balance, and into the drink he went, much to the amusement of the surrounding specators. His caddie hauled him from the water and, dripping wet, he made his way to the green and took three putts which was enough to bank the 416,000 Euro first prize.

 2007  Barclays Scottish Open

Played between 12-15 July 2007 at the fabulous Loch Lomond course. As the curtain raiser to the Open Championship the following week at Carnoustie, the Barclays Scottish Open attracted some of the biggest names in the world – Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els, Luke Donald and others all made the trip. It wasn’t, however, one of the big names who walked away with the £50,000 first prize – but a virtually unknown Frenchman - Gregory Havret - who holed a tricky 5-footer on the first extra hole to beat world no 3 Phil Mickelson in a play-off. The title also earned Havret the last remaining spot at the Open.
