Open Golf: Westwood’s Open record in numbers
19 This is Westwood’s 19th Open Championship. The 40-year-old has missed four cuts in that time.
79 Shots in relation to par. This leaves his average round at 72.27.
67 His lowest Open scores. These came at Troon (1997 and 2004) and St Andrews in 2010.
2 His best finish was a runner-up at St Andrews when he was a distant seven shots behind Louis Oosthuizen.
3 His best chance though came at Turnberry when he finished one shot out of the play-off between Stewart Cink and Tom Watson.
3 Number of putts he took at the 72nd hole at Turnberry after a brilliant recovery from a fairway bunker.
13 Months since his last win on the European or PGA Tour. This came at the Nordea Masters where he won by five shots.
9 He is now in the top 10 for Scrambling on the PGA Tour helped by a move to the States. Historically this is an area where he has struggled badly.
