Woods looking forward to challenge of Carnoustie
POTOMAC, Md. – Tiger Woods left the Quicken Loans National - where he tied for fourth place - with a handful of World Ranking points, some newfound putting confidence and a reason to be optimistic with his next stop The Open at Carnoustie.
He also bolted town with a reason to like his chances at The Open following his missed cut last month at the U.S. Open.
Woods finished tied for seventh at Carnoustie in 1999 despite making just a single birdie on the weekend, and in 2007 he finished tied for 12th on the Scottish links.
Although Carnoustie is considered the toughest of The Open rota courses, Woods said he relishes the test as well as the R&A’s setup philosophy.
