Players who win the most tournaments are the ones who can maintain their game under pressure.

That's another good point. Westwood shot 69-66-68-72. If he had even matched his worst round of the previous 3 he would have won. The average score of the top twelve finishers was 69.2 so a mediocre 69 or 70 by Westwood wins the tournament.

The fact that JT missed a lot putts on the front that Westwood made a boatload of 8-10 footers is completely irrelevant.

While it's true that Thomas beat Westwood by four strokes on Sunday, the fact that Westwood had his worst round of the tournament and was three shots worse than the average of the top twelve finishers is, to me, a collapse by Westwood more than come from behind victory by Thomas. If all of the leaders shot 80 and Thomas shot 72 no one would be talking about how he beat all the leaders by eight shots.
