LOS ANGELES — It's been more than half a year since Tiger Woods last played competitive golf, something that's been a rare sight since his car crash nearly two years ago to the day.
a month later after a tough third round where he was visibly in pain walking on the course in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He skipped the U.S. Open altogether.
“The leg is better than it was last year, but it’s my ankle,” Woods said. “So being able to have it recover from day to day and meanwhile still stress it but have the recovery and also have the strength and development at the same time, it’s been an intricate little balance that we’ve had to dance. But it’s gotten so much better the last couple months.”With Woods being the competitor he is, it makes sense that he thinks he could lift the trophy at the end of the week.
“I would not have put myself out here if I didn’t think I could beat these guys and win the event. That’s my mentality,” Woods said. “If I wasn’t ready to win at this level, I am very rusty, but I’ve come off a rusty situation before and I’ve done well and I’ve had to utilize a lot of those tactics in practice in build up.”
