Quick Quotes
LEE WESTWOOD: First and foremost, lovely young man, credit to his parents. Secondly, he's good, a lot of game.
Q. Yeah, he's only 14.
LEE WESTWOOD: Yeah, I mean, if I didn't know and I just took him on face value, he doesn't look like he's got too many weaknesses. The weaknesses -- knowing that he's 14, the weaknesses he does have are going to get ironed out through still growing.
Q. He'll be hacking stuff up without even knowing it.
LEE WESTWOOD: Yeah, he asked me about a shot I played on 17 with a 3-wood and asked me what club I used. Yeah, he's not afraid to ask questions.
He's got a great opportunity if he just doesn't fall into one of the pitfalls you can run into. If he just carried on now and just lets himself develop, he'll turn into a very good player. Lovely short game, if it's hit far enough.
Q. I was going to ask you what did he do wrong today? But he's all good.
LEE WESTWOOD: He's got a nice rounded game, yeah.
Q. I watched him. It wasn't his best play, but you could see good plays.
LEE WESTWOOD: He missed it in a couple of spots, didn't he, where he couldn't hit, and that was the difference.
Q. Well developed?
LEE WESTWOOD: For a 14-year-old, yeah.
Q. Were you that good at 14?
LEE WESTWOOD: (Indiscernible).
