April 21, 2014 – <\/strong>The Ping<\/a> <\/strong>staff player Lee Westwood<\/strong> ended a near two-year absence from the winner\u2019s circle in style as he recorded his 40th worldwide career victory by seven shots at the Maybank Malaysian Open<\/strong>.\u00a0The Englishman started the day one ahead of compatriot Andy Sullivan<\/strong> and moved into a commanding four shot lead before the threat of lightning forced play to be suspended for over four hours at Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Any doubts about the former World Number One seeing out the job over the last seven holes when play restarted were quickly extinguished, as Westwood moved six clear with a birdie at the 13th before paring his way to the last, where he sunk a 15 footer for a fourth gain of the day.<\/p>\n

Westwood, who won this tournament in 1997<\/strong> before it became co-sanctioned by The European Tour and Asian Tour, finished seventh at the Masters Tournament<\/strong> and feels his improved form has been helped by changes on and off the course.<\/p>\n

\u201cI started working with a new coach a few weeks ago, Mike Walker, and Billy Foster came back on the bag at the end of last year, so I was going back to what I had done before because it had worked,\u201d<\/em> said Lee Westwood<\/strong>, for whom this was a 13th win on Asian soil.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s started to work already \u2013 the last couple of weeks I\u2019ve played well in Houston and at the Masters last week and this week I\u2019ve obviously played very well.\u00a0<\/em>It\u2019s a golf course that suits my game; it\u2019s very tight in certain areas. I played well, I putted well, and the short game is good.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Asked whether he was approaching the form that took him to the top of the Official World Golf Ranking, Lee Westwood<\/strong> added: \u201cIt\u2019s got the potential, although now I feel like I\u2019ve got a short game and starting to roll a few putts in. It makes a helluva difference if you can get up-and-down if you miss a few greens and keeps the momentum going.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
