Lee Westwood is ready to play in the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters this week.

Lee Westwood has said there has been no recurrence of the shoulder injury that blighted his challenge in the Abu Dhabi Championship last week.

Westwood will partner Jason Day and Thomas Bjorn on his second appearance this season at the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters in Doha this week.

The world number three struggled to a tie of 17th place in the Middle East, losing his number two ranking spot to Rory McIlroy in the process.

"I had a few issues to negotiate last week," the 38-year-old told the European Tour website.

"We've been working a lot on my fitness recently and I hadn't played a lot going into Abu Dhabi.

"I had a bit of a shoulder injury the first couple of days there which is now gone. It just needed to loosen up a little bit."
