katyjay 5,091 Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Whether you love golf or hate it, you have got to admire Lee Westwood. He led after round 2 yesterday and is still leading after round 3. Let's hope he can make it a hat trick tomorrow and lead after round 4! He is a credit to Nottinghamshire.

Limey 242 Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 He is from Worksop! He was interviewed yesterday at the end of the tournament and he still has (mostly) his "Nottingham" accent! Runner up in the Masters aint too shabby! Another local that did well over the weekend (although from just over the Derwent in Heanor) was Leon Haslam. He won, and placed 4th in the two World Superbike races. In the six races so far this year he has won two, three seconds and one 4th and he leads the championship! Some of the bikers on here may remember his dad - "Rocket" Ron Haslam! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 I used to deliver 'pop' to Ron, and remember him getting'done' for riding a motor bike with no licence!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Limey 242 Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 I just finished reading his autobiography "Rocket Men". He never did get a motorcycle license - and, by all accounts, was a "bit of a lad" in his younger days. He grew up in Langley Mill - and my aunt knew the family!

firbeck 860 Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 What cracks me up is that BBC East got on the bandwaggon promoting Ian Poulter as a local boy, despite being born in Bucks and living in Milton Keynes, shudder. Who won by the way, I forgot to look, or is it still going on, don't fancy them green blazers anyway, reminds me of Jehovahs Witnesses for some reason. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
katyjay 5,091 Posted April 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Phil Mickelson won, Lee Westwood came in 2nd. I think that's his best finish in a major. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
