With Paul McGinley voicing his concern for Lee Westwood's fitness and his management company reacting to insist he will play at Celtic Manor, we finally from the man himself(Ping G15 Driver).
The world number three hasn't played since pulling out of the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational seven weeks ago, but he has confirmed he is feeling "pretty strong" ahead of a charity event in Scotland this week(TaylorMade Burner SuperLaunch Irons).
"I haven't had any pain for three weeks," he told the Golf Channel. "I've made great progress. I'm pretty strong at the moment. I'd be fine playing in all five matches [of the Ryder Cup].
The 37-year-old also revealed he has been working hard under fitness trainer Steven McGregor in order to be in the best shape possible come October 1.
"I haven't had a drink in four weeks and have lost 12lbs since the Open," he added.
Westwood will play in the charity event, held by Darren Clarke and Ian Botham, on Monday and Tuesday, and then plans to play two rounds a week from Friday onwards(Callaway FT-iz driver).
"I just want to replicate the Ryder Cup with two matches in one day," he said.
Golf Joke- Terrible Weather Out There
Bob was a religious golfer. Every Sunday morning, he headed to the golf course. It didn't matter what the weather was like. It could be raining and 45 degrees, but Bob didn't care. It was off to the course. Every single Sunday morning for years.
But one Sunday, Bob finally met his match with the weather. He got up early and drove out to the course, hoping the weather would improve by the time he hit the first tee. But once at the course, he knew he was beat. It was just a few degrees above freezing, and the rain was coming down steady and icy cold.
For the first time in years, Bob headed back home on a Sunday morning.
His wife was still in bed when he got there, so he took off his clothes, snuggled up to his wife's backside and said "Terrible weather out there."
"Yeah," his wife replied, "and can you believe my idiot husband went golfing?"
