Lee Westwood has claimed that he is excited about the upcoming Ryder Cup and is ready to lead by example at Celtic Manor.

"If I get out there - chest out, chin up - I've got the most experience and will try to show them how it's done," said the 37-year-old.

Westwood has not played competitively in almost two months, due to a calf injury, but the Englishman says that he is fit and ready to play in all 5 matches, should he be chosen by captain Colin Montgomerie.

"I wouldn't be here if I don't think I could play five matches," he added.

"So if Monty [Montgomerie] chooses to play me for five, then hopefully I'll be ready for it.

"I think we've got a strong enough team that we can rest players. It is a tough course physically and maybe the plan would be to rest players."
