WESTWOOD WILL MAKE CHANGES IN BID TO WIN A MAJOR

FROM THE SKYSPORTS.COM WEBSITE

Lee Westwood has revealed he is planning to make some changes to his game as he bids to claim a first major crown next year.

The Englishman enjoyed a memorable 2010 season as he toppled Tiger Woods to claim the world No.1 spot.

But Westwood suffered more frustration in the majors as he finished second in both the Masters and the Open, and is determined to go one better next time he is in contention.

Of his rise to top spot in the world, he told ESPN: "It is amazing, very few people get the chance to say they are the best in the world at anything.

"I tend to be a bit more aware that I am representing golf now.

"It is a spot that everybody wants. You are aware that everyone is trying that bit extra to beat you. But if you work hard at something and achieve your ultimate goal of being the best in the world, you have to enjoy it and revel in it."
While he is yet to break his major duck, Westwood does not subscribe to the opinion that his failure to win one means he does not deserve to be considered as the best in the world.
"Everybody is entitled to their opinions," he continued. "The fact that their opinions are wrong does not matter too much. It is just one of those things. Not everyone is always going to be happy."
Nevertheless, the 37-year-old is ready to make some changes as he bids to end his wait for major glory in 2011.
"I have come very close," he added. "I have given myself some great chances. I will be gearing up to the majors.
"It will be daft to do the same things, as I have not won one yet. You have to try and change something, a bit here and there.

"I will try and fine-tune, work on different aspects and try and get one."
