[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○…Lee Westwood (England) remarried his girlfriend Helen Story.

At the 121st US Open press conference held on the 17th (Korean time) at Torrey Pines Golf Course in San Diego, California, USA, he revealed, "Since we have become husband and wife, there will probably be some changes," and added, "I want to spend a lot of good time together." He continued, "She is a great mental support," and added, "These days, she often gives advice and interferes with club selection, but since she knows me best, I feel comfortable."

Westwood is a player who has won a total of 44 professional victories, including 25 wins on the European Tour and 2 wins on the PGA Tour. He married a woman named Laurie Colter in 1999 and had two children, but they divorced in 2015. In the same year, he met Story, a fitness instructor, and started dating her, then got married last week in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. Story has been Westwood's caddie since 2018. This year's US Open is the first time she is acting as both "wife and caddie."

Westwood reached world No. 1 in 2010 but has no major championship wins. His best major results were runner-up finishes at the 2010 Masters and The Open. Torrey Pines Golf Course, where this year's US Open is held, was where Westwood finished 3rd in 2008. This year's US Open marks his 87th major appearance. When asked if this year's US Open is like a honeymoon, he replied, "My wife is probably thinking of a place where I won't bring my golf clubs."
