Early last week it was announced, there is a new world number 1 in golf. After the 1999 PGA Championship, Tiger Woods had been the world #1.... not any more. The new world #1 is Englishman Lee Westwood. People have been complaining that Westwood should not be world #1 as he mainly plays on the european tour, and has never won a major title. In this years Majors, Lee Westwood finished in the top 5 in 3/4 events, and has had several other top 10's on both the European Tour and the PGA tour. After much speculation, Westwood entered his first Tournament as world #1 at the HSBC WGC event in Asia last week. He ended up finishing 2nd with a four day total of 270 (18 under par) one shot back of Italian Francesco Molinari, proving to most golf fans, that he is worthy of the world #1 position.
