British Open 2025: Lee Westwood ties Open record Saturday at Royal Portrush

'It was a good back nine, wasn't it?' Lee Westwood didn't need an answer. He already knew. A few hours earlier he had turned in 4-over 40 at Royal Portrush, his burst of surprising play finally simmering out. But with six birdies coming home, Westwood rocketed back up the leaderboard with an Open record-tying back-nine 29. That score equaled Ryan Fox's second-nine 29 in the first round here at Portrush in 2019. Only Denis Durnian has carded better than 29 for nine holes, posting a front-nine 28 in the second round of the 1983 Open at Royal Birkdale. Westwood could've had the record all his own, too, had it not been for the 15-footer that lipped out at the par-4 18th hole. 'The putt at the last, I'm not sure how it's missed,' Westwood told reporters afterward. 'I was just saying, on the front nine I was looking around the golf course and I was like, 'Oh, my God, where am I going to make a couple of birdies to get this back to half decent?' Then just started making good swings from 7 in really. Then I was looking at, 'Wow, I feel like I could birdie every hole.' 'Just shows you you've got to be patient and never give up, right? Stick at it.' Westwood was for years considered the best player never to win a major, though now, at age 52, his days of major contention are seemingly over. In four years on LIV, he's mustered just two top-10 finishes. He's ranked 45th in points this season, ahead of just nine full-time players. But earlier this week, Westwood argued that he'd turned a corner with his game. Earlier this summer, he'd fired a final-round 62 at LIV D.C., and the swing had only gotten better since. The newfound confidence inspired him to sign up for final qualifying for the first time in three years. He breezed through his qualifier to earn a berth in his 28th career Open Championship. And yet, Westwood says he arrived at Portrush with no expectations. 'I've set no goals for this week at all whatsoever,' Westwood said Saturday. 'That's why I really wasn't that disappointed when I was 4 over through six because I thought, it's the Open Championship, how many more am I going to get to play? You might as well enjoy it. There's no point in being 4 over through six and sulking and being miserable and thinking, there goes my Open Championship chance this year. 'You might as well just enjoy the surroundings, enjoy the feedback from the crowd because they're great, and just plot along and try and figure out what was going wrong with my swing.' Westwood found the answer quickly. Refueled by a half tuna sandwich at the turn, he hooped a couple of mid-range birdies at Nos. 10 and 11, then rolled in a 5-footer at the par-5 12th. He stuffed his approach at the par-4 14th, followed by a birdie bomb at the par-4 15th. Finally, a 20-footer at the par-4 17th, for his last birdie. 'I just kept writing down a lot of 3s on my scorecard, and I was like, 'This is going well,'' Westwood said. Westwood will enter Sunday at 5 under, nine shots off Scottie Scheffler's lead. He's got no real chance to win a claret jug this year. But at T-14 and a shot outside the top 10, he could ensure his place at Royal Birkdale next year with a solid finish. The key? 'I'm going to have a tuna sandwich on the first tee tomorrow,' Westwood said. And then he'll go from there.

The Open sleepers: Who could surprise at Royal Portrush?

The Open sleepers: Who could surprise at Royal Portrush? Scottie Scheffler is the favorite to win The Open. Jon Rahm is right behind him. Collin Morikawa, Xander Schauffele, Shane Lowry... Yes, we know, we know. But what about the guys no one is talking about? The sleepers? Surely there will be a name or two, like Dan Brown last year at Troon, that pop up early and perhaps even late on that big, yellow leaderboard at Royal Portrush. Advertisement Here are five potential sleepers for the 153rd Open: Harry Hall (+11000) The Englishman rattled off his seventh straight top-25 finish at the Scottish, largely thanks to being one of the world's best putters in the last three months. Also ranks top five in three-putt avoidance on Tour. Martin Couvra (+40000) The Frenchman has a win and four other top-5s on the DPWT this year. Ranks among the best players in the world on approach. The 153rd Open - Previews_LargeImage_m362893.jpg The Open power rankings: All 156 players ranked for Royal Portrush We've reached the final men's major championship of the year – and our final full-field ranking, as Scottie Scheffler leads the list of 156 players for The Open at Royal Portrush. Advertisement Kristoffer Reitan (+35000) Has been one of the best putters in the world this year and has two top-4s since winning the Soudal Open in May. Marco Penge (+16000) Prolific driver of the golf ball popped up on the model even before he contended at the Scottish. Kevin Yu (+18000) Around Top 10 in strokes gained off the tee and a solid approach putter who hits a lot of greens, just not super close. Will be his first Open.
