Mickelson avoids Tiger’s second coming in Charlotte

TIGER WOODS has avoided rival Phil Mickelson in the draw for the opening two days of the Quail Hollow Championship in Charlotte as both men return to action for the first time since the Masters.

Woods, fourth at Augusta on his return from the sex scandal that erupted in November, plays with British Open champion Stewart Cink and last year’s Masters champion Angel Cabrera.

Mickelson, winner of a third green jacket and fourth major three weeks ago, partners Jim Furyk and South African Rory Sabbatini.
