RELAXED TIGER PLAYING WELL IN TAVISTOCK CUP
FROM THE GOLF.COM WEBSITE
By MIKE WALKER
Sure it’s just an exhibition of multi-millionaires playing their home courses in gated communities, but that doesn’t mean this week's Tavistock Cup is meaningless, especially for Tiger Woods who is trying to get a new swing in championship form before next month’s Masters Tournament.
Butch Harmon told Golf365.com that if Woods didn’t play well at a relaxed event like Tavistock, then his former student might have “real problems.”
Fortunately for Woods then, he played well in Day 1 of the Tavistock Cup in Orlando, according to All Headline News.
The most scrutinised swing in golf was on display once again Monday at the Tavistock Cup matches and Tiger Woods had a relaxing day on his home course.
Woods, playing for the Isleworth team, combined with Arjun Atwal for an eight-under par round of 64 at Isleworth Country Club that helped his team take the first-round lead at 30-under par.
“It’s getting better,” Woods after his latest outing.
“It’s starting to feel a lot better, more consistent. It’s getting a grasp and understanding what the fixes are,” Woods said of his ongoing swing reconstruction.
Woods played well most of the day. He drove the 349yd par-4 16th with a three-wood and two-putted for one of his birdies.
FROM THE BBC SPORT WEBSITE:
Tiger Woods continued his preparations for next month's Masters with a solid performance on the opening day of the Tavistock Cup in Florida.
Woods shot a better-ball score of 64 with partner Arjun Atwal for Albany to finish on eight under at the halfway stage in the four-team event.
Graeme McDowell and Retief Goosen had the joint-best score of the day with a 12-under 60 for Lane Nona.
English pair Justin Rose and Ian Poulter shot 61 for Albany.
Brian Davis and J B Holmes also recorded a 60 for Isleworth, who finished the day a cumulative 30 under.
With singles to come, Albany are two behind, three ahead of Lake Nona with Surrey club Queenwood 14 adrift.
Woods entered the competition, a four-team event, similar in structure to the Ryder Cup, on the back of a morale-boosting top-10 finish at the WGC-Cadillac Championship.
And the former world number one backed up his closing-round 66 in Doral with a further encouraging performance ahead of the Masters, which begins on April
