Lee Westwood hopes a six-week break following the Nedbank Golf Challenge will help him finally shrug off a persistent leg injury.
The No. 1-ranked golfer tore a muscle in his lower leg in June and says the injury is still hampering his off-course preparations and practice.
Westwood does not need surgery and hopes rest will solve the problem.
He says, ''I'm looking forward to finishing off this week strong and then getting my leg right and coming out next year and playing as well as I'm playing now.''
