WATFORD, England, Oct 13 (Reuters) - Two missed cuts and a poor Ryder Cup show prompted Lee Westwood to seek solace from some vintage displays captured on film and the blast from the past worked a treat at the British Masters on Thursday.
Buoyed by a birdie three at his first hole, the par-four 10th, the former world number one shrugged off the wintry weather at The Grove to surge through the field with a four-under-par 67 in the opening round.
"I've been working on a couple of things on my swing, trying to get a swing thought, looking back at old videos when I played well and got in good positions," Westwood told reporters on the outskirts of London.
