Woods has won the Memorial tournament, which is hosted by the legendary Jack Nicklaus, five times and was pleased to squeeze into the weekend play on the three-over-par cut line so he could gain more competitive action on a testing course.
«It’s tough. It’s fast. Now that the wind has picked up just a touch, it’s going to dry it out a little bit more. Like I said, hopefully can make a few putts tomorrow.»
Aside from his appearance in a charity event in May alongside fellow golf great Phil Mickelson and NFL stars Peyton Manning and Tom Brady, Woods has been practicing out of public view at home and is welcoming the chance to hone his game in professional tournament conditions.
«Playing at home and out here is so very different,» Woods said. «Absolutely happy to get in a couple more rounds playing competitively.
