Lee Westwood has dismissed suggestions of a feud between himself and Rory McIlroy – and would be open to partnering the world No 1 at next week’s Ryder Cup.

Speculation of a rift between the pair has been rife since McIlroy quit the management company Westwood has been with for 20 years, with the duo then exchanging views over the split on Twitter.

But according to Westwood, they remain friends and he would love to play alongside McIlroy at Medinah next week.

Referring to a conversation the pair had at the BMW Championship two weeks ago, Westwood told the Daily Telegraph: “We were talking about it as we were going round Crooked Stick.

“I said to him ‘'have you had any thoughts about who you are playing with at Medinah? Because if nobody else wants to play with you and you’re desperate, I really don't mind filling in’. We had a laugh about that.

“There’s nothing there. Fans must watch us having banter on the course thinking ‘so where’s this grudge?’ So he left the management company I’m with. So what? It was a business decision. There’s nothing personal with me.

“There’s nothing between us personally that would get in the way. Who wouldn’t want to play with Rory when he's in this nick? I'd love to. It would be good. In fact it would probably be way better than good, particularly in the fourballs. We’d make a ton of birdies.”'

Europe are a best-priced 8/5 with bookmaker Stan James to win the Ryder Cup matches, with the United States 9/11 at Pinnacle Sports.
