PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland – Lee Westwood is 46 years old, and he hasn’t factored in a major in years, but perhaps never before has he been in a better frame of mind at a big tournament.
Much of that credit belongs to his girlfriend, Helen Storey, who is on the bag in a major for the first time.
Lugging around a heavy staff bag stuffed with extra golf balls and rain gear, Storey has helped keep Westwood on course during rounds of 68-67 that put him only a few shots off the lead heading into the weekend at The Open.
