A troublesome leg injury didn't force Westwood to pull out of the Open de France but it remains an ongoing concern and will be a factor this week. It has to make you wonder if he is in the best shape to finally lift a major championship trophy. He has played 15 Open Championships and last year's third-place finish is his best effort so far. But it was also one of the most agonising moments of his career: he played a magnificent bunker shot to the final green but then gunned the first putt under the impression that he needed birdie. The three-putt that resulted left him one shot shy of a play-off. He has played three Opens at the home of golf with a best effort of T64 which doesn't bode well. And although he has won the Dunhill Links Championship there, only two of those rounds were on the Old Course. On the other hand, beware the injured golfer!
