St. Andrews Return Could Be Just What Tiger Needs: Mickelson

GULLANE, Scotland — Going back to St Andrews for next week's British Open could spark a return to form by Tiger Woods, according to fellow American Phil Mickelson.

Woods has struggled with his game for months but a trip to the 'Home of Golf', where he has already won two Opens in 2000 and 2005, may provide the perfect tonic for the former world number one.

"The fact Tiger has won twice at St Andrews and he's able to perform at that level, and knows what it should feel like, can only be a benefit," Mickelson told reporters after shooting a two-under-par 68 in the Scottish Open second round on Friday.
