Westwood's good form may prompt sports betting enthusiasts to put money on the Englishman to win the final Major championship of the season.
Some top performances this season mean Lee Westwood is "understandably" one of the favourites to lift the Wanamaker Trophy at the US PGA Championship this week, gambling fans should be aware.According to the European Tour website, the Englishman heads to Michigan's Oakland Hills course on Thursday with a good chance of claiming his first Major title.
The portal lists his successes during the season so far, which include eight top-five finishes in 15 European Tour competitions, as well as two good performances in strong fields at US-based events.

Westwood came third in the US Open in June and second in last week's World Golf Championships Bridgestone Invitational in Ohio.
Bookmaker Ladbrokes recently claimed that golf is a far more popular sport than athletics regarding betting activity.
Apparently, the Olympic Games is growing as a sports betting market, but is still some way behind the Major golf championships such as the Open.
