Westwood make a macth with Reds

It was the 38-year-old Worksop player's 35th tournament victory, 21 of which have come on the European Tour, and confirmed and extended his lead at the top of the World Rankings.Westwood, who usually plays the last round of a tournament in a red shirt, is a life-long Forest fan and their 5-1 trouncing of Scunthorpe was just the tonic he The Golf Tips To Pitch Closer needed before teeing off in the last round, three shots behind the leaders."When I turned on the TV on Sunday morning and saw that Forest had won 5-1, it helped and got me in good spirits," he said.His one-shot victory in the Balantine's looks like having another good return as the sponsors are now looking at a special whisky blend with Westwood's name on it."It's going to be nice to have a special Lee Westwood blend," said the European Ryder Cup star, who celebrated with a victory glass of champagne.Westwood shot a last round 67, the best score of the day, to pip fellow Ryder Cup star Miguel Angel Jimenez by one shot.

The pair had dinner and shared a bottle of red wine the night before and Jimenez said to Westwood 'see you in the play-off tomorrow'."Thank goodness that didn't happen because, the last time we were in a play-off, Miguel beat me," said Westwood.

"I'm proud of the way I played because it was tough out there and coming here off a win in Indonesia, it's not easy getting refocused."But the more experience you get the easier it is to do it and if anything, this was an old man's performance."I just hung around the field and got my head in front at the line."Westwood finished ahead of Jimenez who was in the final pair and he watched the Spaniard play the last hole on television.He said: "I watched him play the last from the 15th green. It's more nerve-racking watching than it is out there playing, because you have a bit of control when you're out there playing."But I know now how my wife and kids feel when they watch me at home on TV. It must be pretty nerve-wracking for them.
