Westwood eyes Augusta glory

Lee Westwood admits his confidence is high going into the Masters as he looks to win his first title at Augusta National.







The 38-year-old has yet to win a major and the closest he has come to winning the Masters was a second-place finish behind Phil Mickelson in 2010.The Englishman led the field going into the final round but could not hold off the surging American and had to settle for the silver medal once more.Despite failing to land one of the big-four events, the Worksop-born star has enjoyed decent results in the majors with six top-10 finishes in his last 10 outings.But it is a win that he craves and the world number three believes that he might finally have come to terms with how to approach the famous course at the Georgia venue.



"I've always been fairly aggressive and gone at a lot of flags, probably more than I should have done," he told reporters. "And it is a golf course you have to be very strategic on and play patiently."You learn it fairly quickly, but if you are stupid sometimes, like me, it takes a while to sink in."Westwood could only manage a joint-21st place finish in last week's Houston Open but he feels in decent nick for a tilt at Masters glory this week."Hopefully I'll win. I think this year could be it," he added. "I'm certainly playing well enough and getting my game together."
