AUGUSTA, Ga. (Reuters) - Veteran golfer Lee Westwood said Augusta National rewards experience and that his busy schedule heading into this year’s Masters puts him in prime position to capture his elusive first major title this week.The 47-year-old Englishman mixed five birdies on the front nine with a bogey on the back for a four-under 68 to sit three strokes back of leader Paul Casey in the darkness-suspended first round of the tournament. “It’s nice to see my name up there,” Westwood said. “It’s the kind of golf course that gives the older guys a chance. Experience counts for a lot around here. You don’t have to be a bomber to get round it. “It gives you chances if you hit good shots and keep it in play.”
