Lee Westwood has revealed that he was not sure how to prepare for the US Open next week.

The world number three has chosen to play in the Nordea Masters in Sweden instead of competing in the FedEx St Jude despite being a previous winner at the tournament held in Memphis.

Westwood said: "I haven't found the right way yet, so I might as well keep trying different ones.

"It's difficult to prepare for a west coast major because nowhere is near. If you play Memphis it's still a four to five-hour flight to California, so it's a tussle whether you play in all that heat or you go to Sweden, where there will be steady conditions and it finishes on Saturday."

The 39-year-old has yet to win a major tournament in his career.
