The Secret is In The Dirt

Re the talk about Lee Westwood ‘almost’ winning a major in the Masters last Sunday, The Daily Telegraph have a few interesting points. Although, I will never agree with the way the media BASH our sportsmen constantly and NEVER give praise, they do give a great ‘backhanded compliment to Andy Murray, here’s some of the text:

” Lee Westwood will never be a genius like Seve Ballesteros, Tiger Woods, Mickelson or even big John Daly. Westwood will find his major buried in the ground. He just has to go out there and dig a little deeper. People used to view Ben Hogan as a mystical prophet from a far-off land. Once he said: “The secret is in the dirt.” That is where Nick Faldo found his six majors and that is where Westwood will find the final answer. It is out there in the dirt of the practice range. Each time Andy Murray gets close to a major title he goes away and increases his workload. Murray finished second in Australia, Westwood finished second in the Masters. While a few more people give up on them, they go away and work a little harder.

This is ALL that’s WRONG with british sport, instead of supporting our sportsmen and women, the Britsh media knock them when they’re down.
