You won’t believe what happened during Lee Westwood’s third round at The Open! As he battled through the fairways at Royal Portrush, his wife — also serving as his caddie — let loose with some side‑splitting comments on the course. From cheeky advice to light-hearted management of tension, this candid moment captured two pros just being themselves under pressure. A refreshing reminder that even in the biggest tournaments, golf can still be downright hilarious.
Get ready to smile—this is one of the most memorable off-course moments of the week.

Mrs. Westwood have anything to say to you on that back n you know there were some pearls of wisdom coming out of Mrs. Westwood’s mouth today. Yeah want to share one. Uh what did she say? Um something about not expecting to be four over through six. You’re rubbish. There’s a few birdie chances I think she said. And then on the 10th t was the key one. Do you want half a tuna sandwich? You know, if you start a beat in his stomach, then you know, there’s only one way for me. That’s the secret. That’s that way. That’s the secret, right? Nothing gets me going like a tuna sandwich. Can you give your night a couple of tuna sandwiches, mate? Yeah. You need a John West sponsorship, don’t you? You’re so rubbish. Maybe you should have it on the first hall next time. Yeah, I’m going to have a tuna sandwich on the first tea tomorrow. Yeah, Scotty. Scotty’s pretty far ahead, but the top 10 would get you into next year. Yeah, I mean, I’ve not I’ve said no goals for this week um at all whatsoever. That’s why I really wasn’t that disappointed when I was four over through six cuz I thought it’s the open championship, you know, how many more am I going to get to play? You might as well enjoy. There’s no point in being four over through six and sulking and being miserable and thinking who, you know, there goes my open championship chance this year. you might as well, you know, just enjoy the surroundings, enjoy the feedback from the crowd because they’re great and uh and just plow along and try and figure out what was going wrong with me swing and why I was four over 36. Turn it around and patience is the key sometimes and 52 years of age, I’ve got plenty of knowledge of my golf swing and I’ve figured it out. Figured it out quick. Lee, it’s not a matter of proving anybody wrong. You don’t have to prove anything to anybody. It must feel pretty good though walking down 29 like that. walking down walk coming back in 29 must feel pretty good. Not that you’ve got anything to prove to me. Yeah. No, you know, I didn’t even know I shot 29 till I sat down and scored 10 was up there. But it felt felt good. But I knew I was playing well, you know, sort of had it on a string and was it in all the right spots? It’s nice to play golf like that. Absolutely. When you don’t when you’re not thinking. Yeah. In terms of next year, would you have any particular memories of Burkeale or how would you rate it as an open road? I love Bird. It’s one of my favorite golf courses and I played it um about a month and a half ago and they’ve made some changes and I don’t want to judge it too early but I didn’t think they were they’d improved it. Quite different. It’s very different. Yeah. The changes they’ve made uh um will take some bedding in. So, you’ve shot a couple of 62s in the last couple of years, but what is this back nine rank in terms of like a nine hole stretch for you? When’s the last time you felt like that? Well, I mean, rather than rank it, you know, I shot 62 in Washington the final day and, you know, there there is no reason why I shouldn’t shoot low scores. I’ve always, you know, shot low scores in my career. I’m not afraid to when I make a few birdies carry on and and make more. I’m not like I don’t get defensive or anything like that. I’ve always just had this thought of just carrying on and and just keep on going for it. Um so, you know, rather than rank it, it’s just a sign that I’m, you know, when I when I do get the right thoughts in my head with the golf swing, you know, I’m capable of shooting low scores. And what’s nice is I’ve done some work, a lot a lot of work with Andy Paisley on my footing since sort of April time. And now I’m looking at 20 footers thinking this I’ve got a chance of holding this cuz they’re starting where I’m aiming and I’ve always been a pretty good green reader. Good. Well done, man. Thank you. Thanks.

What a star.
proper geezahhhh
He's always been no fuss golfer, keep it up Lee 🎉
We all love Lee Westwood…His first LIV victory must be just around the corner!!
Love the bloke. Always have and always will. I always have felt Skysports Golf channel have disrespected him. Yesterday for instance he’s just about to be announced on the 1st tee and they cut to chat. Then as far as I can remember the next time we see him it’s on the 18th. So he’s shot a 29 on the last 9 and I can’t remember any coverage of it or even a mention of it until the end of his round.
Brilliant. Love Lee. Wish he’d one a major in his career. He deserved it. His closest was probably the Danny Willett masters. He should have nailed that one
Think next time I’m playing, I’ll try the tuna sandwich thing. Somethings got to help
Hope to see him next year ❤
