Lee Westwood shares third place in Qatar Masters with former caddie Oliver Wilson

Joint overnight leader Wilson, who caddied for then county champion Westwood some 20 years ago, picked up two late birdies in a bogey-free 70 at the Doha Golf Club to join the world No 4 at seven under par.

Westwood struggled at times to maintain control of his swing but continued to reap the benefits of a new set of irons to secure a satisfying three-under 69.

"I haven't holed anything, but I'm still feeling solid over holing out, so I'm definitely getting better and maybe something will click," said Wilson, 29. "It was getting frustrating, but it was nice to get something out of the round at the end."

Westwood recalled when the young Wilson handed him a driver for a reachable 280-yard par four only for Westwood to fly the green by 30 yards after initially opting for a three-wood.

"That ended his caddying days," said Westwood, "but he's turned out to be a better player than a caddie, unfortunately."

Rumford had a 66 to lead Bradley Dredge by one shot.

It reads more like a physics thesis than a golf book.
Only get this book if you love physics and want to analyze in detail mathematical models of golf swings and ball flight. This book is written by a physicist, and it shows. The author does an admirable job of analyzing the golf swing, but spends so much time describing how he built his models that the "so what" gets lost in the details. If youre looking to improve your golf game, other books will get you there with much less pain. For example Dave Pelz is also a physicist, and his book, "Putt Like the Pros" has very readable analyses and offers valuable and practical advice.
