While Lee Westwood is likely to look back on 2010 with fondness having established himself as World No.1, you can bet the Englishman will still feel a deal of frustration at how TaylorMade R9 Forged Irons panned out. A first PGA Tour win in 12 years may have been secured, as well as the Nedbank Challenge title, but the 37-year-old's Holy Grail is a major crown and, in the form of his life, 2010 could have been the year. But Westwood saw his efforts undermined by a persistent calf injury sustained in the run-up to the Open Championship. The 37-year-old still managed to finish second at St Andrews - as he did at Augusta earlier in the year - but was forced to pull out of the USPGA Championship with the TaylorMade R9 Forged Irons. Fortunately he was back in time to take part in the Ryder Cup, but he will be desperate to ensure he is completely recovered ahead of his major assault in 2011.
