Another scare for organisers as Woods hit by back problems

ALREADY bitterly disappointed at the withdrawal of world number one Vijay Singh on Monday night, the organisers of the Amex World Championship at Mount Juliet received another scare yesterday.

Tiger Woods left the course at lunchtime, having apparently wrenched his back hitting a drive off the first tee.

Woods was seen to hold his back as the ball sailed into the left rough. He knocked a second drive down the fairway and pondered what he might do next before heading for the clubhouse, sending his caddy Steve Williams to recover the two golf balls.
