'Just got it going the wrong way'published at 22:54 British Summer Time 13 April 2024
Woods +11 (82)
Tiger Woods is not one for mincing his words, chatting to the media he's asked about his biggest challenge today and he says: "The fact that I was not hitting it very good or putting well. I didn't have a very good warm-up session, and I kept it going all day today.
"Just hit the ball in all the places that I know I shouldn't hit it. And I missed a lot of putts. Easy, makable putts. I missed a lot of them.
Asked about his lack of golf coming into the Masters he adds: "I wouldn't say necessarily mental reps. It's just that I haven't competed and played much. When I had chances to get it flipped around and when I made that putt at five, I promptly three-putted six and flub a chip at seven and just got it going the wrong way. When I had opportunities to flip it, I didn't."
Woods, who admitted that playing 23 holes on Friday had taken its toll physically, added: "My team will get me ready. It will be a long night and a long warm-up session, but we'll be ready [for Sunday]".
