Lee Westwood: I've learned the hard way that I must not panic

Evening Standard

Lee Westwood would be entirely justified in feeling that the wheels of time are remorselessly grinding against him.

The 38-year-old is still waiting to win his first Major. He lost his No1 ranking to Luke Donald in May and, at the US Open three weeks later, a tied third place was small consolation when the victor, Rory McIlroy, was only 22.

Yet, as he prepares to take a tilt at the season's final Major, the US PGA Championship in Atlanta starting a week on Thursday, Westwood has no fears that the young guns are threatening him.
