Tiger Woods

Tiger Woods said his left knee felt as strong as he thought it was. "It feels great," Woods said. Steve Williams, now working permanently for Adam Scott after Woods fired him a month ago, watched the Australian play flawlessly in matching his career-low round with a 62 that gave Scott a one-shot lead. Woods at least got himself pointed in the right direction. Woods shot 2-under-par 68 in his first competitive round since May 12. Certainly Woods needs to improve his driving accuracy, as he hit just five fairways.



Thomas Bjorn, Stewart Cink, Lee Westwoodand Phil Mickelson are all ahead of Woods. Understandably, this day was about seeing what Woods brought back -- even for the players. Any time Tiger Woods is mentioned even in casual conversation within the golfing community, it is newsworthy. While Woods was about to tee off in Ohio at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, Fred Couples addressed Tiger's likely future. Though Woods is currently 15 spots out of automatically qualifying for this year's Presidents Cup, Couples said Thursday he would select Woods as one of two captain's picks if it comes to that and Woods is healthy. Now about that golf game?
