If this week’s USPGA Championship represents the last chance saloon as far as Lee Westwood’s Ryder Cup hopes are concerned, then at least he is heading there with his glass half-full rather than half-empty.

Westwood is currently well off the pace but remains defiant. ‘The bigger picture for me is the season’s final major,’ he said. ‘The captain knows what I can do at the Ryder Cup.
