Graeme McDowell added yet another piece of silverware to his heaving mantelpiece today when he landed the 2010 Golf Writers’ Trophy.

European No 1 Lee Westwood has won the Golf Writers’ Trophy for a third time and joined the legendary Seve Ballesteros as the only three-time recipients. 

Catriona Matthew, who won the Ricoh Women’s British Open just 11 weeks after giving birth to her second daughter Sophie, was the clear runner-up in the annual poll which saw Northern Ireland’s emerging star Rory McIlroy finish in third place and Sweden’s Anna Nordqvist fourth.
