Thank You Finchy: Westwood's 18 One-Putts
/The Telegraph's James Corrigan follows up his original story with more backstory on how an accidental meeting and conversation led to Lee Westwood's putting advice from Ian Baker Finch.
Through the first 36 at Muirfield, Westwood has 18 one-putts.
When contacted last night, Baker-Finch, who has been watching on American TV, welcomed the transformation. “Lee looks different on the greens – more confident and calm,” said Baker-Finch.
That much has been obvious, as Westwood has cut his way through the field, using the putter as his scythe. As revealed in last week’s Telegraph Sport, Westwood had “a light bulb moment” when he had an hour-long session with Baker-Finch a fortnight ago.
