Westwood Cribs

Lee Westwood, winner of the Dubai World Championship and the Dubai Racing Champion. Now we have the chance to share the exercise with him.

No panic

On his last trip to Hong Kong Westwood struggled on the greens, but managed to stay calm about his problems.

First he agreed that the greens were hard and had no vital indigenous knowledge. Then he felt there was no need to panic. And he was right.

secret strategy

All week, the mischievous Westwood talked about a strategy of "secret" and he took particular pleasure in baiting the Mail on Sunday, Peter Higgs with his reluctance to reveal.

"There is nothing secret or illegal too," he laughs, "but why talk? Is nobody's business but mine and Billy until the end of the week."

"Because we'd all be curious to know what it is," Higgs region.

"Well, I'll tell you tomorrow night."

"Not now?" Higgs continued.

"Absolutely not."

"What difference does it make?" Higgs asked.

"Because people from copying and cra¨che outside," said Westwood, figuratively putting his arm around his card to arrest all those who seek. "It's like a review copy. Did you do that Peter? "

Receive tips and even better was to come on Sunday, when Westwood was finally revealed his plan confidential.

"The secret is," he smiled, "it is no secret. I made everyone think I had a secret, when I did not really. "

Higgs-mail was home at that time (its deadline has passed), so his response was not reported.

The only drawback for Westwood is that the plan "secret" ploy does not work yet.

Stats magic

Westwood throughout the match was good for years, but sometimes the rest of his game is not so reliable. But this was not the case last week.

In addition to leading the Greens in Regulation, it has surpassed the field in scrambling, sand saves, birdies and Breaking Through. He also finished fifth in putting average, seventh and eighth Precision Driving for driving distance.

Experience

If it is not surprising that Westwood was in full possession of his motion last week, it was a little unexpected that his mental game is so dominant.

He is a man who was once a winning machine, but had lost his touch, a man who was reborn with a double victory in 2007, only to suffer a series of what could-been -have-in the following two years.

With all this doubt hanging around him, he was not the person you expect to be using non-existent secret strategies to convince Rory McIlroy for his own lack of experience mental game, and the rest as being composed and pitiless as it was clear all week.

It begs the question - if the monster had been hidden mind game? The answer was "inside" and Caddy Westwood Billy Foster was responsible for the shooting.

"The significant turnaround in confidence was to capture Billy (his caddy Billy Foster) to the beach party on Tuesday," said Europe's number one.

"He probably had enough Heineken to tell me what he really thought. He said that I had been too much attention to other people around me.

He said: "You've been here 16 years, more than all three of them together (McIlroy, Martin Kaymer and Ross Fisher are the only players left in the race to be number one) and you won 30 times, which is more than putting them together. "

"It's a terrible word to use because I hate it, but he said:" You have to intimidate them. " So I was convinced all week. "

Westwood has used the mind coach Dr Karl Morris in the past and you can see its methods of work here - Westwood has assumed the role of the bully for the week.

You can also see how he consciously "take on the role (his character more natural i think
