Tiger back on track after Open letdown

THE business like nature of Tiger Woods’ Buick Open win on Sunday signalled the world number one has come to terms with his British Open letdown and got his game back on track for the PGA Championship.

Almost overlooked in the outpouring of emotion that surrounded what might have been the final Buick Open was a superb week of steadily improving play from Woods, establishing him as the odds-on-favourite going into the year’s final major at Hazeltine Golf Club later this month.

For the first time in his career, Woods will play back-to-back events before heading into a major and moves on to Akron, Ohio for the World Golf Championship event at Firestone Golf Club where he has won six times.
