Tiger Woods is back in action this week at the Quail Hollow Championship in Charlotte and will be looking for his first win of 2010. This will be the second tournament he's played this year after making his return at the Masters, where he finished fourth. Playing Wednesday morning with two amateur partners for the Pro-Am, his first two drives were wide right into the trees. "I hit some poor drives, some poor irons, some poor chips, and poor putts, but still shot under par for the day," Woods said in a press conference after the round.
By his standards, his finish at the Masters was disappointing but he did take some positives from the week. "Given a little time to reflect on it, it was an incredible week," Woods said. "I think it went as well as it could have possibly gone, and obviously I didn't do what I needed to do on the weekend, but after not playing for that long and coming back and finishing fourth, I think that's pretty reasonable."
In a recent blog post, Woods wrote that he made his third career double eagle, or albatross, at the par-5 17th hole at Isleworth, his home club. He hit a five wood from 260 yards and drained it. "I shot 63, so my game is improving."
He is set to tee of Thursday morning at 7:40 with 2009 British Open champion Stewart Cink, as well at 2009 Masters champion, Angel Cabrera.
