Eighteen holes separate Lee Westwood from immortality. If he can hang onto his lead at the 2013 British Open, Westwood will win the first major tournament of his career. It would be a monumental achievement for the 40-year-old, especially given the difficulty of Muirfield. Westwood is just one of many golfers who will be teeing off on Sunday afternoon. With the small distances between the top 10 or...

It allows you to either solidify yourself atop the group, or you can still recover after a poor first match. The United States and Costa Rica are in control of the group right now. With each getting...
