Lee Westwood always seems to enjoy playing golf, with the Englishman's game possessing an element of genuine joy that Tiger Woods would do well to take notice of if he wishes to bring his game back up to the highest level. However, after an in-flight incident left Westwood shaken up and forced to spend his first press conference prior to the US Masters focusing on everything except the golf, could it be that his chances of winning the imminent event are all but over?
With Westwood already forced to deal with the fact that his short game has been nothing short of a mess in recent weeks and with the player last year managing to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, his mood coming into the US Masters probably wasn't the best to begin with, but his mood and his confidence now must surely be almost spent. The US Masters betting certainly suggests he could struggle.
Despite this, Westwood attempted to spend his first press conference talking about golf rather than talking about the fact that he could well have not even have had the chance to be playing in the US Masters, meaning that either he is stronger mentally than many professional sports stars or he is desperately trying to hide the fact that he is extremely shaken up and has lost his focus.
If Westwood does emerge and appears in the slightest bit distracted during the first day or two of the Masters at Augusta, then he may just find himself embroiled in a situation in which he is in real danger of not only missing out on a great opportunity to win his first major, but also of missing out on the cut and finding himself left regretting a massive lost opportunity to grab hold of victory if things had gone his way.
