Lee Westwood To OWGR Algorithms: You Like Me, You Really, Really Like Me!

Lee Westwood dutifully gave the British press corps plenty of dramatic quotes during a conference call to celebrate his rise to No. 1 as he rests his ailing calf. Tom Pilcher reports:

"To be able to sit down and say there's nobody better right now, I think it has to be the highlight," the 37-year-old said.

"When you're growing up and people say 'What do you want to achieve?', you say 'I want to be the best in the world'.

"It's a planet isn't it? I'm the best on the planet."

The best on the planet without a major. And for another oy vey moment...

Westwood thanked Ryder Cup team mate Kaymer for contacting him with his congratulations shortly after the German finished his final round.

"Martin Kaymer did send me a text, which was very nice of him. He sent it pretty much as soon as he had finished. That meant a lot."
