Golf Update: Lee Westwood clinches the world top golfing rank from Tiger Woods
Finally, luck has favoured the thirty seven years old English veteran golfer Lee Westwood, as he has successfully usurped the world’s top rank of golf from his thirty four years old arch rival and American golfing legend Tiger Woods. Lee has claimed the
world number one rank of golf for the first time during his sparkling and remarkable golfing career.
It was a competition between the Briton, Westwood and the young twenty five years old ace golfer from Germany, Martin Kaymer. It is to be remembered that Kaymer was playing in Andalucia Masters golf event, which was being held in at Valderrama in Spain and
it was important for the German to win the tournament or to finish at the second spot. But the Andalucia Masters came out to be a little unfortunate for Kaymer has he failed to finish in the top two and hence the world top rank of golf is awarded to the Englishman,
Westwood.
It is to be notified that the tournament at Valderrama is won by the Ryder Cup star Graeme McDowell, as Kaymer endured some disappointing rounds in the event. The twenty five year old German recorded the final round of seventy five under par and finished
the day ten shots behind the point’s leader McDowell.
Currently the Briton Westwood is suffering from calf injury and has not been able to perform since a month. The rank of being the top golfer of the world has given him a very strong boost and it is no doubt a very well deserved rank for the Englishman, as
his capacity cannot be questioned. Westwood is the first British golfer to be ranked as the world number one after Nick Faldo.
The news of topping the world ranks of golf is no doubt overwhelming for the British ace. While talking about the fact, Lee Westwood expressed his feelings and thoughts in a satisfied way, he told the media that it is really a dream come true for him and
he has never been so happy, and satisfied during his whole career, like now. He added and said that the feelings of being the world’s best golfer in the world are very special and it is no doubt a great admiration and privilege to him.
Overtaking a great golfer like Tiger Woods has given Lee a very strong boost and he is now of the view that his new golf rank is a strong proof of his calibre and hard work. While talking about the fact, Westwood told the media that his recent performances
and the world number one spot is a strong proof of his hard work and it also shows that he has done a perfect job and he is simply at peace now.
On the other hand, the current situation is a little disappointing for the German as he was also eyeing the world number one spot. When he was asked about the fact, the young twenty five years old expressed his feelings and said that the current situation
is really devastating for him, as he did not played the way he was planning for. Kaymer added that he missed too many putts and made the competition more difficult for him and the way he finished the event is not at all encouraging to him.
Later, Martin Kaymer said that he has to accept his defeat because up and downs are a part of the game and he has to accept the outcome. Kaymer continued and said that he will continue his struggle for the top title of golf and he is very sure that he will
get a good chance of grabbing in the world number one rank very soon. Martin also paid tribute to Lee Westwood and said that Westwood is a great player and the world number one rank is very well deserved for him.
