Westwood has eye on Johnnie Walker title
RYDER CUP pair Lee Westwood and Paul Casey have confirmed they will tee up at the 2009 Johnnie Walker Classic in Perth, Australia, in February.
Westwood, ranked 12th in the world, and his fellow Englishman will line-up alongside home favourite Greg Norman.
The last time Westwood met Norman on Australian soil was at the Australian Open in 1997 when the Englishman upstaged the then world No.1 at the fourth hole of a sudden-death play-off in Melbourne to win the title.
"I'm already looking forward to playing in Perth and to the Australian sunshine which will be a welcome change from the European winter," Westwood said.
"It will also be a tremendous challenge to come up against Greg again on his home soil, especially after the form he showed at this year's Open Championship."
The tournament will be held from February 19-22, 2009.
