IN A SPORTS YEAR DOMINATED by a devastating global pandemic, it would be easy to overlook what Lee Westwood accomplished. The 47-year-old European Tour veteran won the Race to Dubai in early December.
Then a cherry on top: Westwood was named European Tour Golfer of the Year for the fourth time. (His last time was 2009.)
When Westwood stuck his tee in the ground at the season finale, the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai, it was start No. 567 on the European Tour. When he finished four days later, he was the winner of the tour's annual points race.
