Golfer Lee Westwood rescues man from drowning in Barbados

English golfer Lee Westwood rescues a man from drowning off the island of Barbados.

English golfer Lee Westwood saved a man from drowning while on holiday in Barbados.

Solihull businessman Colin Davies, who was visiting the island with his wife Linda, has revealed that the 41-year-old was the first to dive into the water to help.

Colin, who suffers from Parkinson's disease, told the Birmingham Mail: "If there is a power looking over us, I hope he takes note and delivers three Majors to this kind and gentle human being.

"The family next to us on the beach heard my cry and within a second a muscular male grabbed me and, with tremendous but gentle care, got me back to my lounge bed. I was so shocked by the whole affair that I didn't convey my heartfelt thanks to the Samaritan who had rescued me."

Westwood, who now resides in Palm Beach, Florida, was on holiday with his wife.
