Danny Willett won't be playing in next week's World Cup of Golf in Australia, but he's not pleased that that decision also cost his friend and countryman Lee Westwood a spot in the event.
Willett announced last week that he would not be traveling to Melbourne, for fear of aggravating a back injury that has plagued him in recent weeks. His spot then went to the next-highest ranked Englishman, Justin Rose, who also opted not to play. That, in turn, meant the spot was offered to Chris Wood.
But tournament rules stipulate that the highest-ranked player has the option of picking his teammate, just as Willett selected Westwood months ago.
