Westwood not letting latest defeat get him down

FROM THE SKYSPORTS WEBSITE
Lee Westwood is refusing to be too disappointed after another final-round failure cost him The Players Championship in Florida on Sunday.
Just as he had done at The Masters, Westwood started the last 18 at the top of the leaderboard, only for the wheels to come off his challenge.
And having lost to Phil Mickelson at Augusta, it was South African Tim Clark this time who came through the field to secure the biggest winner's cheque in golf.
Ultimately it was the final few holes that cost Westwood as he found a bunker at the 16th and then the water at the 17th.
But despite eventually finishing back in joint-fourth, four shots behind Clark, Westwood is determined not to let the setback effect him.
Westwood said: "I'm disappointed, but it's not something I'm going to pull my hair out over.
"If you don't play well you don't deserve to win and I just didn't play well over the weekend.
"As the course got harder you really needed to be on your game and I wasn't striking the ball solidly enough.
"You needed to hit more fairways, have more control of the ball and I just didn't have that.
"It all needs fine-tuning. I'll keep working on things, just trying to get a bit better for next time."
