Lee Westwood joins Nick Dougherty at Wentworth to demonstrate how to chip from a variety of lies

The new-look Wentworth is certain to test every player's short game at the BMW PGA Championship, and Lee Westwood has been showing us pitching techniques from different lies.

Westwood joined Nick Dougherty at the Sky Zone to give valuable insight into his thought process when lining up a chip, with much depending on the lie of the ball.
