(Reuters) - Moments after Tiger Woods said he was "progressing nicely" from back surgery, the former world number one hit three balls into the water on a short par-three hole on Monday.

Woods, at Congressional Country Club to promote the June 23-26 Quicken Loans National, which he hosts, took three shots at the 102-yard 10th. The first two went directly in the water and the third hit a slope before rolling in.

"See, I need a warm-up," Woods said after the final shot.
