“I simply did not play nicely. I did not hit the ball very nicely, and bought off to not the beginning I wanted to get off to. I assumed I hit a very good tee shot down two and ended up within the water, and simply by no means actually bought any sort of momentum on my facet.”
After the spherical, Woods wasn’t concrete on whether or not he’d be finishing the main.
“Effectively, I am sore. I do know that’s for a reality,” he stated. “We’ll do some work and see the way it goes.”
