NEWS RELEASE
Two weeks prior to the Alstom Open de France, Lee
Westwood has just announced his withdrawal. The 40-year-old Englishman,
currently ranked 12th in the world, was one of the big names highlighting the
field of the tournament's 97th edition
“It is with much regret that I have decided to withdraw
from this year's Alstom Open de France. A long run of events has left me
fatigued and with The Open so close I have decided to get myself into the
best possible condition”, said
Westwood, who plays on both sides of the Atlantic this season.
“The Alstom Open de France has
always been one of my favourite tournaments and I love both Paris and
Versailles, so this decision was not taken lightly and I look forward to
returning in the future. I would like to wish everybody connected all the
very best for a successful and memorable week. I am sure it will
be,” he
kindly added.
Already not in the field of this week's Irish Open, Westwood
will also miss the Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open, scheduled the
week after the Alstom Open de France. The Englishman will return to
competitive play at Muirfield, where the 142nd
Open Championship will take place from July 18 to 21.
