Although he was again prevented from teeing off at Muirfield prior to 7 a.m. local time Tuesday, Tiger Woods said he had no problem with the restriction and was set to play a limited number of practice holes anyway in preparation for the Open Championship that begins Thursday.
The left elbow injury that caused Woods problems during the U.S. Open at Merion last month and kept him from playing in two tournaments afterward is also causing Woods to take the cautious approach as he prepares for what will be his 17th Open Championship.
"I was always going to just play nine (holes) each day,'' Woods said Wednesday after his third nine-hole practice round at Muirfield. "That was the plan, not to push it on the amount of holes, especially on hard ground. I've been playing a lot at home. But it's Florida, it rains every day, it's soft. It's two totally different conditions.
"I just wanted to make sure that I'm rested and feel fit and ready to go for the championship. I've done a lot of homework on the greens each day. And I've taken my time and really got a good fell for them. So that's been good. I would just like to get another wind in, a little different direction. We've had it the same the last three days.''
