| Westwood's recovery 'ahead of schedule' • Calf injury made world No3 a doubt for Celtic Manor• 'Lee started chipping and putting last week,' says spokemanLee Westwood is "ahead of schedule" in his recovery from injury ahead of next month's Ryder Cup. The world No3 has been struggling with a calf injury and has not played since early last month, leading to fears he may not be ready in time for the tournament at Celtic Manor.But a spokesman for International Sports Management (ISM), which represents Westwood, told BBC Sport today: "Lee will be at the Ryder Cup. He is a few days ahead of schedule and everything is progressing very well."Westwood, who has been a key member of the European team for six Ryder Cup campaigns, pulled out of the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational in Ohio in August after two rounds because he was finding it hard to put weight on his right leg. But he is due to play at a charity event hosted by the Ryder Cup vice-captain Darren Clarke and Sir Ian Botham at Archerfield Golf Club in Scotland early next week."Lee started chipping and putting last week and is hitting up to five irons," added the ISM spokesman. "There have been no setbacks. He is expecting to be through the bag at the weekend and on Friday week he will be playing 36 holes just to make sure he is capable of playing two rounds in one day if he is called on to do so in the Ryder Cup."Everything is going according to plan. He is in the gym every day. He's confident he will be ready – he was confident when he stopped playing last month that he would be."Lee WestwoodRyder CupGolfguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds guardian.co.uk |
