Lee Westwood speaks out about decision to have his wife caddie for him at The Open
Lee Westwood has opened up on why his wife Helen operates as his caddie, with the 52-year-old LIV Golf star looking to make a big impact at The Open in Royal Portrush over the weekend LIV Golf star Lee Westood has opened up on his call to have his wife, Helen, caddie for him. Westwood, 52, looks to be rolling back the years at The Open, currently being held at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland. After a solid start on Thursday, he is currently finding himself tied for 21st on one under as day two gets underway. Westwood, who came under fire for joining the Saudi Arabian-backed league in 2022, will be hoping to go one better than he did at St Andrews in 2010 when he came runner-up. That result is his joint best ever in a major, with Westwood also finishing in T2 at the Masters in 2010 and 2016, as the game's most prized trophies continue to escape him. Yet there's one aspect of his golf game that's generated almost as many headlines as his near misses, and that is his choice of caddie. Westwood and Helen Storey are believed to have started dating in 2015, and in 2017, Helen stepped in to help her partner on the fairway. Speaking of the union, Westood said to the BBC recently: "She wanted to do it. She loves the weather over here, the fact that she needs two pairs of hands and sometimes three." He added: "No, she caddied for me in the qualifying, and I prefer to have her caddieing for me whenever she can. We have a good record round here from finishing fourth six years ago. "Yeah, it was an easy decision for me to make. Probably harder for her. She'd probably rather be at home riding a horse." Speaking on The Therapy Crouch podcast, Helen explained what drew her to the task of carrying the bags for her husband, despite not being all that familiar with the technical side of the sport, saying: "I knew I could handle the weight of the bag and what have you, but I didn't have a bloody clue what I was doing." It was a professional marriage that drew instant success, with Westwood claiming his 24th European Tour victory in their third tournament as a partnership. Westwood has also described how his wife's guidance helps to calm him down when things aren't going his way on the links. "Sometimes, when I'm kicking off and having a bit of a moan and a whinge, she looks at me and goes, 'Are you finished?'" Westwood said. It's a pair that clearly works, as observed by US star Bryson DeChambeau. The two-time US Open winner, 31, described Helen as Westwood's "secret weapon" back at the Players Championship in 2021. "I think Helen is a big part of his (recent) success," he said. "She's keeping him steady and level-headed and she's a rock. Keeps his mind focused on the right things, and she's been awesome for him, and that's one of his secret weapons, I think." Westwood's 28th Open marks his first since 2022, the same year he left the PGA Tour to defect to LIV Golf. Targeting his maiden major, Westwood recently touched upon his love for Royal Portrush. "I love The Open Championship and I love Portrush," Westwood said Thursday. "It's one of the golf courses where if it wasn't The Open and somebody said, 'Do you want to go and play Portrush this weekend?' I'd probably go. And there's not many courses like that."

Peter Crouch and Abbey Clancy remain in Wimbledon fever in lavish tennis getaway
Peter Crouch and Abbey Clancy appeared to be bitten by the Wimbledon bug after taking in the action at SW19 before heading off to a Portuguese getaway and taking to the courts Peter Crouch and his wife Abbey Clancy clearly weren't over their tennis fever after taking in the action at SW19. The married couple were spotted the iconic grass courts this month to watch the Wimbledon finals. And it seems they have the bug for the sport as they picked up their rackets in a sunshine getaway. The duo were having a wail of a time on their Portuguese break as they took to the courts. The 6ft7 former Liverpool striker looked like he was intent on getting the better of his other half - and revelled in doing so. Wearing a loose-fitted cream t-shirt and shorts combo, the 44-year-old cheered his shots as he parried them back to his wife, 39. He shielded his eyes with a smart pair of sunglasses, with extra balls stuffed in his pocket for the game. Abbey didn't appear as into the sports session as her man and was seen resting with a drink in a takeaway coffee cup at the net. She opted for a fitted sportswear outfit of a black crop top and high-waisted leggings, which she tucked into white socks. She also donned a pair of designer shades for the outing on the blue sports courts. At one point she was seen with her grey sweater tied around her neck. Earlier in the month, the pair were seen cheering on their favourite tennis stars at SW19. They put on a very loved up display at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, where they were joined by their eldest daughter, Sophia Ruby. The pair have three younger kids too, Liberty Rose, Johnny, and Jack. While the couple currently have four kids, Abbey recently revealed she would quite happily have a fifth. The couple, who tied the knot 14 years ago, have been entertaining fans for years with their hilarious honesty and true affection for each other on their The Therapy Crouch podcast. And last month, Abbey opened up to OK! about her secret hopes to add to their brood. Revealing the best thing about parenting at this stage, model and former Strictly champion Abbey said at the time: "We're not walking round with two prams and two nappy bags! I love them when they're babies but with my sister and brothers and their partners and kids, we've got a proper ready-made little gang now." However, when probed on if they could ever have baby number five, Abbey laughed: "I'd have 10 kids if I could, but Pete is like, 'absolutely not'. I think he said he'll leave me if I bring another living thing into the house. "All the kids are in school now, so I could easily have a newborn, but my husband says 'no way'." Abbey also took aim at the rumour mill surrounding her family. Finding it funny what speculation is shared from their podcast, she said: "Well, it's very inconsistent, isn't it? "One minute we're living separate lives and the next we're having a fifth baby! I don't read the stories though, I only learn about them when I get a call from a relative asking, 'Are you and Pete splitting up?' or 'Are you having another baby?'

He added: 'It was really hot and I didn't want you to be too hot. 'I wanted something thin and flowy. I was thinking of you, I didn't want you to wear jeans, even shorts….I thought you'd want something loose, flowy.' Abby however said that 'irritated the hell' out of her.

I was like, 'How dare you?'' Peter went on to say he was 'just talking' to the other girl but Abbey asked for her number back. He added: 'I said, 'You can't give someone your number and then take it back'.' Despite the initial bump in the road, their relationship blossomed and the couple tied the knot on June 30, 2011. According to OK! , the family live in a 'magical' Surrey mansion complete with its own cinema room and a huge garden.
