PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland (Reuters) - Lee Westwood's latest bid to secure an elusive major championship got off to a blistering start on Saturday, but he heads into Sunday's final round needing a major turnaround to have any hope of lifting the Claret Jug.

The 46-year-old Westwood has had 18 top-10 finishes in major championships and in half of them he has been inside the top three -- but he has yet to get over the finish line in first place.
