Woods has been practicing at Pinehurst for the past week, and his 15-year-old son, Charlie, is taking on a larger role. “I trust him with my swing and my game,' Woods said of his son.
PINEHURST, N.C. — Tiger Woods has been limited to two official rounds of golf since making the cut at the Masters, and they weren’t very good ones. He missed the cut at the PGA Championship, hasn’t played since, and now faces a tricky U.S. Open venue at Pinehurst No. 2.
“Nothing can simulate what we have here this particular week, the amount of little shots and the knobs and run-offs, and either using wedges or long irons or woods around the greens or even putter,’’ Woods said during a news conference at Pinehurst. “There's so many different shots that you really can't simulate unless you get on the property.
Woods arrived at Pinehurst on Sunday afternoon and played nine holes each of the last three days. Notable as part of his preparation has been Woods’ son, Charlie, 15, who has closely watched Woods practice and play at Pinehurst while offering plenty of feedback. “I just want to see the balls rolling. He reminds me every now and again, which is great. We have a great relationship and rapport like that, and it's a wonderful experience for both of us.’’
“Arguably, Tiger is, if not the most important then one of the most important USGA champions ever,’’ said John Bodenhamer, the USGA’s chief championships officer. “Nine USGA national championships, three Opens, three juniors, three Amateurs. He didn’t lose a match in match play over six championships.
