SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Lee Westwood has 35 official wins around the globe and is coming off a five-stroke victory Saturday at the Nordea Masters in Sweden.
Entering this week’s U.S. Open at The Olympic Club, the 39-year-old Englishman still rates as the best player to have never won a major.
“Majors are the only thing missing,” the world’s No. 3-ranked player said Tuesday. “Maybe I’ll never win one. Maybe I will. I could. I’ve got no answer to that. Keep working hard and trying to get myself into the position. If it happens, it happens. If it doesn’t, it doesn’t.”
Westwood finished tied for seventh the last time the U.S. Open was played at Olympic, closing with rounds of 70 and 71. And he’s had four top-10 U.S. Open finishes in 12 appearances, including a tie for third at last year’s U.S. Open at Congressional Country Club.
