Englishman Lee Westwood has always been a popular figure on and off the golf course and his rise to number one in the world, knocking Tiger Woods off his five-and-a-half-year perch, is a testament to the hard work and effort of the Ryder Cup hero over the past few years.
One of the keys to reaching the summit, according to the man himself was taking responsibility for his own golf swing. As he said in a Press Association article, he was just "listening to just one person - me."
That he did so is astonishing for the 37-year-old, who revamped his golf swing several years ago after more than half a decade in the wilderness.
In executing his swing, Westwood tells us in his website that he tries to be evenly balanced between the feet and flexes the knees while leaning forward from the hips.
He advises forming a straight line with your left thumb, forearm, left arm, shaft of the golf club and the ball.
He says: "Like a spoke in a wheel, this structure will be the cornerstone of consistency when the moment of impact arrives."
Certainly, consistency in his golf swing has help Westwood rise to the top of the world.
