Lee Westwood Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Lee Westwood:

Race horses are like golfers, you're never sure how they're going to come out of the stalls. It's just - hopefully the horses come out of the race all right, just fit and ready to go again in the near future, but 3rd was good. It's paid for its hay.

I'm working my way steadily back and I'm feeling good.

Lee Westwood

You don't win tournaments by playing well and thinking poorly.

Lee Westwood

In my case what happened next in 1999 was that I fell apart over that back nine. When I saw I was in genuine contention that year I felt like throwing up. That remains probably the most nervous I've ever been on a golf course.

Lee Westwood

People always say golfers don't smile. But there is so much psychology in golf so we have to be a bit robotic.

Lee Westwood

I've said before that the Ryder Cup is not the European Tour versus the American Tour. It's Europe's best golfers against the US.

Lee Westwood

Yes, a Major would mean so much to me but I'm a great believer that if you work hard and in the right way, you will get what you deserve.

Lee Westwood

I'm the best in the world.

Lee Westwood

Golf is played between the ears and if you are not 100 percent focused on what you are trying to do, then people will go past you no matter who you are.

Lee Westwood

Even when I finished third at the U.S. Open a few weeks back, I didn't putt very well, nor in the last round of last year's Masters when Mickelson won, nor last year's Open at Turnberry, where I came second.

Lee Westwood

I've started to show the consistency in majors I had in regular tournaments back in 1998-2000 when I was contending nearly every week.

Lee Westwood

People mature at different stages and I feel I'm learning a lot.

Lee Westwood

I'm 37, I'm pretty fit and feel I have another eight years left - which means there's 32 Majors still to go at.

Lee Westwood

The story of the week is you have got to putt well to win the Masters and I haven't putted well.

Lee Westwood

Yeah, I feel good. Good about my game and my life.

Lee Westwood

People confuse being world No. 1 with winning a Major championship.

Lee Westwood

I never take myself too seriously.

Lee Westwood

I ruptured my plantaris muscle. It runs through the calf and goes down the side of your achilles and stretches right to the heel.

Lee Westwood

I'm hitting it better than last year. The putting is getting close now, too.

Lee Westwood

I'm a golfer - not an athlete.

Lee Westwood

Golf is difficult to get your personality over because you are such a bottle of concentration.

Lee Westwood

My dad said: 'It looks like you'll be world No.1 in a few hours and I wanted to be the first to say congratulations.'

Lee Westwood

The satisfaction you get when you finally beat your dad is amazing, that rush of adrenaline.

Lee Westwood

I know I'm good enough to contend in each and every major I play.

Lee Westwood

Probably the best caddies are the smartest ones and the ones that are switched on mentally more than some of the others maybe.

Lee Westwood

Eighteen months ago I weighed 95kg and had a 40-inch waist. Now the waist is down to 34 inches and I weigh nearly 98kg.

Lee Westwood

It's such a psychological and mental game, golf, that the smallest wrong thing at the wrong time can distract you from what you're trying to achieve.

Lee Westwood

Race horses are like golfers, you're never sure how they're going to come out of the stalls. It's just - hopefully the horses come out of the race all right, just fit and ready to go again in the near future, but 3rd was good. It's paid for its hay.

Lee Westwood

Now I'm giving up a little in the week-to-week tournaments but reaping the benefits in the majors.

Lee Westwood

Sometimes Americans don't quite get my sense of humor. My good ol' British sarcasm seems to go over their heads.

Lee Westwood

You're the only one in control over your golf ball. It's not like tennis: you're hitting a shot and somebody's hitting it back at you.

Lee Westwood

Just because I keep getting close and don't win these Majors, I must not panic.
