Tiger Said The Swing Change Does Work

04/17/2011

Tiger Woods said his reworked swing has revived some of the fun and excitement to his game, and is a big reason why he played so well at the Masters.

The former top-ranked golfer,woods, who finished in a tie for fourth place at Augusta National with Callaway X-22 Irons, was already back at work. “I hit the ball really well and made some shots—those are shots I know I can hit. That was fun and exciting,” Woods said at the Mission Hills Dongguan clubhouse near the southern Chinese city Shenzhen.

“It’s really starting to feel pretty good. This week was a pretty good week.” The 14-time major champion hasn’t won a title since returning from a five-month break after revelations of marital infidelity last year. But at the Masters by TaylorMade R9 SuperTri Driver, he made a strong play with four birdies and an eagle on the front nine of the final round before faltering on the back. But while kicking off an Asian promotional tour, Woods credited swing coach Sean Foley. “I played well and unfortunately just came up a little short on the back nine. But it was a fun front nine on Sunday. “That was really fun. Had a big blast,” Woods said. “It was fun being in the mix. Unfortunately I didn’t get it done.” Woods hasn’t won a tournament since his return last year. “When I was 25, I was on tour and having a pretty good run out there at the time and won a few tournaments right about that age,” Woods said.

“And at 35, I haven’t won just one thing.” But despite being happy with the overhaul of his driving, Woods told fans during an afternoon clinic that his putting was lacking, adding that his next goal is to fine-tune his short game. Woods’ off-the-course troubles don’t appear to have diminished his popularity in China when Woods Hit A Nice Shot In Masters. Hundreds of fans lined the fairway at the 18th hole of the course as Woods wrapped up his fourhole demonstration, cheering loudly when he made a good shot. Woods wore a wireless microphone so spectators could listen in as he hatched his strategy for each shot.
