Lee Westwood wins the Nordea Masters, US Open may get him his first Major win!
Lee Westwood has proved that consistency is the key for a golfer to maintain his stature professionally sound.
The 39-year-old British golfer took home the Nordea Masters trophy with his outclass play at the European Tour event.
Westwood has a total of 39 professional win to his name and 22 of them come from European Tours. The European Tour has been a blessing for the golfer, as his form and level of play under the diverse tournament has been exceptional.
His 22 victories at the European Tour also mark him as holding the 9th all time best record at the prestigious event.
Westwood is now heading to prove his craft at the US Open. His win at the Nordea Masters has given him the right amount of boost he required to compete with the world’s best golfers.
The only aspect of Westwood’s career that is a little pinching is the fact that his record lacks a major tournament win. This has been an issue that the British golfer has been working hard on.
The upcoming US Open can change this missing link, as Westwood appears in bold form and has never looked this good.
The factor that separates the European magician from other golfers is a simple, yet, difficult attribute, “consistency”.
The golfers of this era lack consistency and Westwood remains the only golfer who has been consistent on the rankings. He remains World number 3 in the official golf ranking.
The steady golfer is eyeing the US Open with a positive approach and feels confident after his European glory.
“I am going to take a lot of positives to San Francisco. I have played really well here. You don’t win by five shots not playing well,” said Westwood.
Rory McIlroy will defend his title at the US Open while Westwood will try and get his first ever major championship title. This will not be easy as top-notch golfers will fight in the hopes of grasping the US Open title to their name.
This win has added to the glorious European Tour record of the 39-year-old golfer who is looking better day by day.
The US Open will be an opportunity where Lee Westwood can get his first major championship if he glues himself to his strength, consistency.
