PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. – As he looks to add to his major haul, Tiger Woods hopes this week feels a lot more like April and a lot less like May.
Woods opted out of playing a practice round Tuesday at Pebble Beach ahead of the U.S. Open, choosing instead to rest up and conserve his energy. It’s a similar approach to the one he employed earlier this year at the Masters, one that led to him slipping into his first green jacket since 2005.
But Woods skipped practice at last month’s PGA Championship for far different reasons, sitting out the day before the opening round because of illness.
