Lee Westwood Wants To Improve Game

Lee Westwood admits that he must continue to improve if wants to remain at world number one.

2010 was a great year for the Englishman as he brought Tiger Wood's reign at the top spot to an end in October - as well as triumphing with Europe in the Ryder Cup.

And while he finished second in two of last year's majors his first big title still eludes him.

Towards the end of the year Westwood's position did come under fire from former world number one Tiger Woods and Martin Kaymer.

But a win at the Nedbank Challenge at the end of the season saw him defend his number one ranking for the first time.

Speaking to ESPN Westwood said: "If I can keep improving all the time, hopefully that'll be good enough to stay there.

"All you can do is work your hardest, and if that's good enough then that's good enough - you can't influence what other people have done."

Westwood did come close to lifting his first major next year and he admits that it is something that his career is missing.

"It's the definition of every golfer's career, so it's really the only thing missing from my CV. I'd like to win one and maybe go on and then a few more.

"I've become world No. 1 and now it's matter of peaking for one of those four weeks - or more."
