Lee Westwood, the #1 player in the world, recently made comments that could show why English golfers such as himself, Paul Casey, and Ian Poulter haven't won jack for Major championships, although they seem to run their mouths more than anyone.
Westwood, in an interview with The Sun, was asked if he would rather remain #1 in 2011, or win a Major championship.
"Well, I've been world # 1 now and I've never won a Major so, obviously, I would like to win one. But I wouldn't swap world No 1 for a Major, no way."
Umm, what? Do you think Tom Brady would say he's glad the Patriots had the best record in the regular season but lost the Super Bowl. Or Kobe Bryant saying he's happy the Lakers had the best record but lost the Championship. Or Roger Federer saying he'd rather stay #1 than win Majors.
No, that's because they would never say that. No great athlete would ever say that.
I think everyone knows what Tiger, Nicklaus, or any other great golfer would say.
It doesn't matter that much anyway because Tiger will be taking back the ranking soon enough.
