British Masters: Lee Westwood's pin choice at the 10th is a winner

Lee Westwood claimed a second win of the week at the British Masters supported by Sky Sports in our Pick the Pin vote.

We asked viewers to select their favourite pin location on the 10th green for the final round at Close House from the preferred choices of Westwood and the previous two champions - Matt Fitzpatrick and Alex Noren.

The tournament host, who won the Hero Challenge on Tuesday night, emerged as a landslide winner in the poll as he gained 69 per cent of the voting.

Westwood went for a pin eight yards on and just four yards from the right at the picturesque 175-yard tree-lined par three, a hole location which brings the two right-hand bunkers very much into play, while anything too far left leaves a tricky two-putt for par.
