Finished T2 at the Humana Challenge on the strength of a third-round 61. Had a long eagle putt on No. 18 that would have tied eventual winner Mark Wilson. The 61 was a personal-best and matched the Nicklaus Private course tournament record, originally set by Charlie Wi in 2009 and matched in the second round by Ryan Moore. Was 6-over par after his first 17 holes of the tournament, but from that point on, he played his final 55 holes in 28-under-par, including a third-round, 11-under-par 61. He made 27 birdies over those final 55 holes. Was tied for 126th after the opening round. He jumped 77 spots following a second-round 64 and then moved up 47 places, thanks to that 61. Led all players in the field with 30 birdies during the tournament, two more than John Senden. His 72-hole total of 22-under-par 266 was a career low for him in a 72-hole event.

Carded a final round 64 at the Transitions Championship and lost in a four-man, sudden-death playoff with Luke Donald, Jim Furyk and Sang-Moon Bae when Donald made birdie on the first hole, No.18. Began the final round five shots off the 54-hole lead, but made birdie on Nos. 17 and 18 during regulation to post 13-under and then waited two hours to see if he would make a playoff. Closing 64 equaled his career-low final round on the PGA TOUR. Record fell to 0-3 in PGA TOUR playoffs.

On the extra session's first hole, he drove behind a tree down the right side on No. 18, had to pitch out and was eliminated with a bogey. Westwood birdied the fourth playoff hole to win. Moved up 88 spots in the FedExCup to 97th and earned $492,800.

Held a share of the second-round lead at 10-under at the Reno-Tahoe Open en route to a T10. Played in the final group for the second time in his last five starts and was just one shot off the 54-hole lead, but struggled to a 2-over-par 74.

Earned that elusive first win by capturing the Children's Miracle Network Classic, with rounds of 68-65-70-64—267.
