Unusual to many, Tiger Woods is content with a 19th place finish in the recent Memorial Golf Tournament. Even more surprising is that it is in Jack Nicklaus’ tournament, one which he has won 4 times. This was his worst ever finish in the Memorial Tournament, finishing 12 strokes over Justin Rose who won brought home the champion’s trophy.
Woods however has other goals in mind. His target is the majors as well as breaking Jack Nicklaus’ record. He says he is getting into better shape for the upcoming U.S. Open. This time around he will be without a coach though.
It’s good though that Woods has gotten his sense of humor back. When teased about his 72-69-69-72 rounds, he replied, “Well, I’m capable of playing four rounds in a row. Thank you.” This is a nice improvement after everything that has happened in his life especially this last six months.
Who couldn’t forget the scandal that plagued Woods and cost him a lot of sponsors? His cheerfulness just proves that he is able to cope with any difficulty that arises in his life and he is strong enough to turn his life around.
The U.S. Open will be played at Pebble Beach which coincidentally Woods owns. He has one week to practice and has high hopes in the coming tournament. He says that he has been getting better and better with every round. “I hit some shots that I hadn’t hit in a long time,” says Tiger. Fans are enthusiastic about his performance in the forthcoming tournaments and wish him the best of luck.
