Lee Westwood is looking to cash in on his recent consistent form with a second victory of the season at the Turkish Airlines Open by the Ministry of Youth and Sport.
Since a run of four missed cuts in the middle of the season, which included both the US Open Championship and The Open, the former World Number One has had five top-20 finishes.
And The Ryder Cup star is looking to build up a head of steam ready for the 2015 campaign with a strong finish to the season in the remaining events of The Race to Dubai Final Series.
“My form has been more consistent of late, more so than it's been all year really,” said Westwood, who won the Maybank Malaysian Open earlier in the year.
“I've not played great this year - I won once but not enough top tens really.
“So I'm trying to sharpen everything up and it feels like it's turning around a bit, so I'm looking forward to the last few weeks - this week and then Dubai next week – to build up a bit of confidence and some form and get a few good results and get ready for next year really.
“Obviously I'm delighted to be back. I played two years ago in the eight-man match play and obviously last year in the Turkish Airlines Open, and it's nice to be back.
“It's a nice golf course. It gives you a good chance for some low scoring; you can make a few birdies on it but obviously there's some trouble out there.”
Westwood was European Number One in 2000 and 2009, but at 29th in the current standings has no chance of catching Rory McIlroy in The Race to Dubai.
The Northern Irishman has won two Major Championships, a World Golf Championships and the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth in an outstanding campaign, and will secure The Race to Dubai for the second time in three years unless one of Jamie Donaldson, Sergio Garcia and Marcel Siem win at the Montgomerie Maxx Royal on Sunday.
And Westwood insists that he would have no issue with the race being settled ahead of the season-ending DP World Tour Championship in Dubai.
“I think it's a nice finish to the year - it finalises it well,” Westwood said of The Final Series. “They are obviously very big events and good sponsors.
“I'm a big fan of somebody showing the consistency over the whole year and winning it. If you look at Rory's season: he's won two Major Championships, a World Golf Championships, and our flagship event, the BMW PGA Championship, which is a phenomenal year.
“If you put that up in somebody's career, those four tournaments, that would be a good career, and he's done that in six months, basically.
“Occasionally somebody will do something extraordinary and deserves to win the Money List this year. I have no problems with it being over before the final event, especially this year with what Rory has done.
“It's certainly good to have a dominant player. I think it ups everybody else's game and ups the level that everybody else plays at and is good for the people to watch.
“Certainly when I first came on Tour, Monty was the one that everybody was shooting at, and there's been different people over the years, and now it's Rory's turn where he turns up at a tournament and if he plays well, he's going to be towards the top of the leaderboard. Whether he wins or not is another thing but he will certainly be in contention.”
