Westwood can quickly reclaim world No 1

LONDON - The topsy-turvy nature of the 2011 world rankings could be reflected again this week with Lee Westwood pushing to reclaim the No1 spot from European Ryder Cup teammate Martin Kaymer.

If the second-ranked Westwood finishes third or better at the Honda Classic in Florida, the absent Kaymer's reign as No 1 will have lasted just a week.

With the elite players now involved in a logjam at the top of the rankings, there is a stark contrast to previous years when Tiger Woods appeared untouchable at the summit.
