Lee Westwood In Emergency Landing


Lee Westwood the World number 2 Golfer and Ryder Cup teammate Ross Fisher were forced to make an emergency landing after their private jet caught fire shortly after take-off. The Ryder Cup winning golfers had just finished participating in the Houston Open and are taking part in the this week’s US Masters Championship.

Westwood gave running commentary on his twitter account showing his humorous side with tweets including "Do the [fire] engines normally follow you down the runway? Only when there's smoke in the cabin I guess!!!” and "They're not here to put my putter out! That's not on fire!"

The plane landed safely, with no injuries to any crew or passengers a problem in the instruments panel caused the fire, which forced the emergency landing.
