Westwood joins Ryder Cup Masters

LEE Westwood joins his fellow Ryder Cup heroes in China this weekend, for the inaugural BMW Masters.

The presence of Westwood, Luke Donald and Rory McIlroy means three of the world’s top golf ranked golfers will be battling it out in the $7million tournament at Lake Malaren Golf Club, Shanghai.

Worksop’s most famous export was scheduled to tee off in the last group alongside McIlroy and Justin Rose on Thursday, and he said he was looking forward to competing in a top field.

“I really enjoy playing in Asia, I’ve been coming out since 1994.”

“It’s a real quality field, and nice to see everybody back together after The Ryder Cup after such a successful week that week.”
