Westwood up for Classic challenge

n GOLF: Lee Westwood admits he is feeling jaded after his recent exploits and a trip to Augusta National but never contemplated skipping this week’s Honda Classic.

Westwood followed a tie for 61st in the Wgc-workday Championship with runners-up finishes in both the Arnold Palmer Invitational and Players Championship.

“I’m a little bit tired, I must admit,” Westwood told a pre-tournament press conference. “I feel a little bit drained. My legs are feeling it a little bit. I suppose I’m not expecting too much this week, but I don’t know what to expect from myself at the moment. I’m putting well and, you know, if I’m feeling all right, there’s no reason why I shouldn’t play well.” n FOOTBALL: AC Milan star Zlatan Ibrahimovic is available for the crunch Europa League clash with former club Manchester United tonight.
