Westwood\u2019s long battle to win a first major title goes on after he failed to convert a two-shot third round lead at Muirfield<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Despite extending his lead to three shots with 13 holes to play, the Englishman stalled and eventually had to settle for a tie for third as Phil Mickelson<\/a> burst past him down the back nine.<\/p>\n

The day after his last major heartache, Westwood told the Daily Telegraph: \u201cYes it hurts, but I can deal with that.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m having a week off then I\u2019ll play (the WGC Bridgeston Invitational at) Akron and I\u2019ll be ready to give it another go at the US PGA (at Rochester in a fortnight\u2019s time).<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not going to walk around feeling sorry for myself, and I don\u2019t want anyone else feeling sorry for me,\u201d said the Englishman, who now has eight top three finishes in majors but not that elusive victory. \u2013 Sky Sports<\/a><\/p>\n
