Woods finally comes out of the shadows

Less than 11 months after undergoing surgery to fuse his back, Tiger Woods is playing the brand of golf that made him a 79-time winner on the PGA Tour.  

It has many observers, including his former instructor Hank Haney, convinced that he is back and could win soon. No less than Phil Mickelson, winner of the WGC Mexico Championship last week, said Woods might shock the world at the Valspar Championship.

“He’s always one-upped me,” Mickelson said on the Dan Patrick Show Thursday. “I wouldn’t be surprised if he went out and won this weekend to one-up me again.”
