Tiger's PGA Championship press conference

 

TIGER WOODS: I'm playing China and Australia and then obviously Chevron.

Q: (Inaudible.)

TIGER WOODS: Man, yeah, I striped it early. I didn't miss a shot for the first four holes. And then after that I hit it awful.

Q: (Inaudible.)

TIGER WOODS: We got a long way to go before that ever happens. Augusta is a long way off. Between now and then I got a lot of tournaments to play in(callaway x24 hot irons).

So obviously next year's a different set of major championship sites, except for Augusta, but still we have plenty of time.

Q: (Inaudible.)

TIGER WOODS: I thought I could. I thought I could. Certainly. Just got to play well at the right time. Just four days. I just got to put it together for four days and I never did that(callaway x-24 irons).

Q: (Inaudible.)

TIGER WOODS: Well the thing that I was shocked about this golf course is how do we get 70 plus guys at 1-over par or better. That's pretty impressive.

No one would have expected the cut to be at 1-over, ever. Not here. But it goes to show you if you get soft greens, no matter how hard the golf course may be, guys are going to tear it apart. And that's what they did this week.

Today it was different though. The greens were faster, almost a foot faster than they were the last couple days(callaway x-24), so it was playing a lot more difficult out there now, greens are running a little bit, still holding, but they're giving it up a little bit as you're putting.

Q: (Inaudible.)

TIGER WOODS: It is. It is visually. I guess there's a lot going on. But there's a lot of room out there. There's a lot of room on the greens too.

But that's what Pete Dye usually does anyway. He takes away a lot of things or draws your eye to different places, but there's actually a lot of room around the greens, a lot of room in the fairways, and the greens aren't as severe as they may look like. But the green speeds again were as down as they have been, so.

Q: (Inaudible.)

TIGER WOODS: I hit my irons really good today. I drove it terrible. Couldn't quite get it. I was able to hit my 3-wood well. But I just couldn't get a feel with the driver on how to do that. I was doing it on the range pretty good, but just couldn't carry it through.

Q: (Inaudible.)

TIGER WOODS: I think I got a chance of maybe helping out in singles. (Laughter.). save me to singles. No, I mean, no, I feel like my game is a lot better than it was obviously last week(callaway x-24), and given a little bit more time it's starting to head in the right direction now, which is good. And I'm looking forward to it, hopefully Corey will pick me on the team.
