Lee Westwood leading the Nordea Masters, Carlsson fades out after round 2!
Sweden’s Magnus A. Carlsson has fallen short of the lead in the Nordea Masters after a bad day at the field. Britain’s Lee Westwood is now the new leader at the board, as his experience and precision play dominated in round 2 of the Nordea Masters.
Carlsson has been extremely slow regarding his career. His participation in mega events has almost been negligible. Last week, he had a lead on the table with his eight birdies.
The round 2 of the Nordea Masters changed everything for the Swedish golfer, as he flunk down the table and lost his initial lead.
Golf is a game of precision and intelligence. One factor remains crucial as far as performance is concerned, consistency.
Consistency is directly proportional to success in the world of golf and most golfers forget it. It was Tiger Woods who took his fame a little too much in his head and fell apart in a matter of a few games.
Carlsson made the same mistake, lost his focus and became inconsistent.
Westwood on the other hand was calm and patient. He did not let anything touch him, as he knew exactly what he was doing, focusing on the right aspects.
Westwood outshined the rest in the 2nd round of the Nordea Masters and proved that he still remains the most consistent player in the world of golf.
His consistency drove him up on the board and got him the lead in the Nordea Masters after his 2nd round brilliance.
Westwood is a 3-time European Tour Golfer of the Year. He received this honour for a reason, un-parallel stroke play.
The European Tour is a very tough ground to prove a point. It is tough because of the diversity of talent that is observed under one tour. This factor brings out the best out of a golfer and challenges him to the limit.
Westwood has ruled the European Tour since the start of his professional career. His lead at the Nordea Masters is not a surprise, as his bag of experience and unmatched consistency remains his driving force.
As far as Carlsson goes, he has to do more.
