Westwood Ho As World Number 1 Charts Course For Major Abu Dhabi Success
The world’s number one golfer, England’s Lee Westwood, sets course for major success at this week’s new-look Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship, as he takes on the event’s strongest-ever line-up.
Running 20-23rd January at Abu Dhabi Golf Club, this year’s US$2.7 million tournament boasts all four current 2010 Major champions – Phil Mickelson, Louis Oosthuizen, Graeme McDowell and Martin Kaymner, the current Abu Dhabi champion – as well as double champion, Paul Casey, who are also keen to make a splash in the emirate.
Taking time out from the sweeping greens of championship’s National course, the six superstars joined newly-appointed European Ryder Cup captain, Jose Maria Olazabal, for a sail with the emirate’s Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing team, which will compete in the 2011/12 Volvo Ocean Race which stops in Abu Dhabi next New Year’s day.
