Lee Westwood could only muster an even-par 35-37=72 in the final round of THE PLAYERS, but it was good enough to lock up his fourth top 10 in his last four starts of 2013.
Westwood entered the weekend with a legitimate shot to pick up the victory, but a terrible opening nine in Saturday's third round left him fighting for a top 10. He spent most of the day in good shape, as he was 2-under through 13 holes with three birdies and a bogey, but late bogeys on 14 and 17 put the streak in serious jeopardy. A par at 18 is just good enough to extend the streak at 7-under 281, but it will not be tested at TPC Four Seasons Resort later this week since he isn't in the field for the HP Byron Nelson Championship.

Lee Westwood salvaged his third round of THE PLAYERS with a 2-over-par 39-35=74, dropping into a tie for 10th ahead of the final round at 7-under 209.

Westwood overcame two early double bogeys and a slight injury to his hand on a whiffed approach on the first hole to play his inward nine at TPC Sawgrass under par. He emerged early Sunday morning to birdie the par-5 16th, then stuffing his approach on the par-3 17th to 2'8" for a kick-in birdie. He gave one back at 18, but his health seems to be intact for a solid final-round push.

The horn sounded for the second time during the third round of THE PLAYERS at 7:48 p.m. ET, this time due to darkness.

Among those stranded on the course is Lee Westwood. He went through the first 36 holes without a blemish, but made a double-bogey six on the opening hole after swinging and missing on his second shot from a native area. On the miss, he appeared to hurt his hand and confirmed to NBC on-course reporters that he was in some pain. Perhaps the break in the action to rest his hand is what he needs, as he is 3-over-par through 15 holes in his round. Everyone is chasing David Lingmerth. The rookie is 12-under through 17 holes and two clear of Tiger Woods, Sergio Garcia and Henrik Stenson. It was announced at the end of the live NBC telecast that the third round will resume at 7 a.m.

Lee Westwood is bogey-free, 9-under-par 69-66=135 and shares the 36-hole clubhouse at THE PLAYERS.

When he's on, he should dismantle TPC Sawgrass. The world-class ball-striker has split 22 (of 28) fairways and hit 27 greens in regulation en route to an eagle and seven birdies. Today's set of par breakers began with an eagle hole-out from the rough 33 yards away at the par-5 11th hole. He tacked on four birdies thereafter, the longest dropping in from 14'2" at 12. Westwood helped keep his scorecard spotless with a par save from 10'6" at the par-4 14th.

Lee Westwood settled for an even-par 35-37=72 in the final round of the Wells Fargo Championship, picking up his fourth top 10 at 6-under 282.

Westwood entered the week coming off back-to-back top 10s, so that he hung around the top of the leaderboard is no surprise. In all, he circled four birdies and swallowed four bogeys on a miserable day at Quail Hollow. He'll try and dry out and go for another top 10 at THE PLAYERS later this week.

Lee Westwood only mustered an even-par 35-37=72 in the third round of the Wells Fargo Championship, but at 6-under 210 he sits just two off the lead.

Westwood's round was rather pedestrian, with two birdies and two bogeys surrounded by 14 pars. Due to some late stumbles by Nick Watney and Phil Mickelson, Westwood is only two strokes off the lead and is one of 19 players within four strokes of the lead. With tee times early to avoid poor weather conditions later in the day, expect the final round of the WFC to be a tightly-contested affair.

Lee Westwood sits 6-under-par 70-68=138 at the midpoint of the Wells Fargo Championship, good for a share of the 36-hole clubhouse lead.

The Brit recorded four birdies in Thursday's opener, all on par 5s. He circled six birdies today, two of which on the longest holes. His set included rolls from 13'10" and 17'9" at the 16th and 17th holes, respectively. Alas, the last of the four par 5s he played today got the better of him. After rinsing his tee ball at No. 7, he found water again with his approach. He then hit his fifth onto the green where he'd salvage bogey with a conversion from 25'9". While forfeiting a stroke is never ideal, but it was one of the better bogeys he'll experience all year.

Lee Westwood spun a 1-under-par 35-36=71 in the final round of the Masters, improving to 3-under 285 and securing a top-10 finish.

Westwood is famously chasing his first major championship, but will once again come up a little short. With just three birdies, his round lacked the firepower needed for a serious run and the two bogeys he swallowed didn't help things. The good news is, he will secure a spot in the 2014 Masters with a top-12 finish. It is not a surprise that he has chosen to skip the upcoming RBC Heritage.

Lee Westwood posted a 1-over-par 37-36=73 in the third round of the Masters, falling to 2-under 214.

Westwood gave back early bogeys at the par-3 fourth and par-4 seventh, then found his only birdie of the day at the par-4 ninth. With pars all the way around the back nine, he has plenty of work to do if he hopes to snap his career-long dry spell and earn his first major championship title in Sunday's final round.

Lee Westwood carded a 2-under-par 36-34=70 in his opening round of the Masters.

The Brit stumbled out of the gates, swallowing a double bogey at the par-4 first hole. He'd add a bogey-5 at 17 later, but dropped in five birdies against no bogey in between. He hit only 11 greens but minimized the damage with 26 putts. He's four strokes adrift of the clubhouse lead.

Lee Westwood turned in a 2-under-par 34-36=70 in the final round of the Shell Houston Open to finish his week in a tie for 10th at 11-under 277.

It was a relatively quiet day for the Englishman, circling three birdies without a blemish on his first 17 holes before suffering his lone bogey on the par-4 18th. It was a big bogey, in that it let five other players sneak inside the top 10. Westwood will skip the Valero Texas Open, and we will see him again at the Masters.

Lee Westwood spun a 5-under-par 35-32=67 in the third round of the Shell Houston Open to join a growing group of players at 9-under 207.

Westwood's round started innocently enough, recording a birdie and nine pars on his first ten holes. He caught fire beginning with the par-4 11th, rattling off five birdies on his next six holes before dropping a shot on the difficult par-4 17th and sneaking out of Redstone with a par at the 18th. The highlight of his day came when he narrowly missed a hole-in-one on the par-3 16th. His tee shot rolled just past the edge of the cup and settled 12'2" behind the hole to set up his final birdie of the day. It sounds absurd, but he will try and hoist a trophy on the PGA TOUR for just the third time on Sunday.

Lee Westwood turned in a 4-under-par 35-33=68 for his opening round of the Shell Houston Open, finishing two strokes off the early clubhouse lead.

And that included a pair of bogey-6s at Redstone today. The Brit hit 13 greens and converted seven birdies, including respective rolls of 14'10", 18'3" and 19'9" at the second, fifth and 14th holes, respectively. He also holed out for birdie from seven yards off the green at 16. Today's score ties his career low on the course. It's the seventh time he's signed for a 68 in 21 rounds.

Lee Westwood failed to capitalize on an opportunity to win The Honda Classic with a 4-over-par 36-38=74 in the final round.

After an early birdie on the par-5 third, Westwood would fail to get anything else going the rest of the way. He squared five bogeys over his final 14 holes including one at the par-5 18th when his approach from the fairway didn't find dry land. He will quickly put this behind him and head to Doral for the WGC-Cadillac Championship.

Lee Westwood posted an even-par 37-33=70 in the third round of The Honda Classic to take over the lead in the clubhouse at 6-under 204.

After a birdie at the par-5 third, the Englishman bounced back from three birdies late on his front nine with two birdies on the back, including a chip in at the 14th. After a perfect drive on the par-5 18th, he rinsed his approach. Fortunately for him, he still managed to scramble for par. His playing partner, Geoff Ogilvy joined him at 6-under.
