Lee Westwood's US Masters week ended in disappointment his 60th attempt at major success!
His record for the last 4 years at the Augusta course reads 2nd, 11th, 3rd and last week 8th! After closing on a 71 six shots off the play –off between Adam Scott and Angel Caberera.
Last year
he blamed bad putting for another near miss - 'The story of the week is you
have got to putt well to win The Masters and I haven't,' - this time that was
not the case.
'I played all right this week,'
Westwood said. 'I putted really nicely. Short game was good as well. I don't
think I've had a three-putt all week, which is quite an achievement on this
golf course.
'I just didn't play the par-fives
well enough. You've got to do your scoring on the par-fives and I played them
in four under par. I didn't birdie any of them the second or third day and was
only one under today and hit great drives down all of them, so it's a bit
disappointing.
'I had a chance to get off to a
really hot start and get right into it and missed from 15 feet at the first and
then had four feet for eagle on two. I had a good chance on five, birdied seven
and didn't birdie eight from the middle of the fairway. I could have been five
or six under through eight holes and in with a real shot.'
