World No1 Lee Westwood crosses swords with Tiger Woods in Shanghai

The first encounter between Lee Westwood and Tiger Woods since they switched spots at the top of the world rankings on Sunday was a bizarre one: a photo opportunity with swords ahead of this week's HSBC Champions event in Shanghai. The tournament represents Woods' chance for a first win since the Australian Masters in November last year, which came days before revelations emerged about his private life. After Shanghai, he will then defend his title in Melbourne next week and play in his own tournament in California at the start of December. "Hopefully I can end the year on a good note," he said. "I'm looking forward to the next three events: I've done some pretty good work with Sean [Foley, his coach] since the USPGA."
