Nearly men Fleetwood, Westwood hope for Masters magic

Tommy Fleetwood was playing shots from everywhere in Monday’s practice round at the Masters while 47-year-old Lee Westwood was vowing there’s no age barrier to winning at Augusta National. The Englishmen know well the agony of major near misses, with 16th-ranked Fleetwood finishing second in the 2018 US Open and 2019 British Open, while Westwood has 19 major top-10 finishes without a victory.

Fleetwood was flinging caution to the wind and testing lies and angles where he might be attacking the green when the 84th Masters begins on Thursday.

“This week more than pretty much any other week or golf course, being out on the course is so important,” said 29-year-old Fleetwood.
