back in action for Tiger Woods
Everyone is gathered in great numbers to watch Tiger Woods prepare for American sports most talked about comeback. The people of Arizona then applauded him on to the 1st tee in bright sunlight as the world number one munched nonchalantly on a banana, seemingly in his own little world. Tiger had had eight months to visualise his opening tee shot, and sure enough it found the right edge of the fairway.
Tiger rifled the ball to four feet, and it soon disappeared for an opening birdie. An eagle would almost certainly have followed at the 2nd, if Brendan Jones hadn’t conceded the hole, and Tiger was up and running. There were no great histrionics from the man who has seen it all before, but after an uninspiring run of holes, he gave the galleries a moment to cherish.
In fact having reached the par five 14th in two shots, he rolled in a 20-footer from the edge of the green and raised his putter to the sky – but retained his poker face in case his Australian opponent wasn’t quite done. He then say that his rebuilt knee felt fine, that he would never turn up to a tournament he didn’t think he could win, and that anything he accomplishes on the golf course pales into insignificance compared to the achievements of his children.
