By Mark Lamport-Stokes

UNIVERSITY PLACE, Washington, June 16 (Reuters) - It has been seven years since Tiger Woods won the last of his 14 major titles and he heads into his week's U.S. Open with his game under a glaring question mark after struggling for most of this season.

As ever, though, the former world number one preferred to dwell on the positives when he spoke to reporters on Tuesday at Chambers Bay, saying that he was happy with his tournament preparations.

"I hit the ball pretty good today," Woods said after playing a practice round in the morning with Masters champion Jordan Spieth on the links-style layout.
