DUBLIN, Ohio—Almost two weeks before hell play it with a U. J.J. Watt Womens Jersey .S. Open on the line,
Tiger Woods tested his game at The Olympic Club on Tuesday. Then, he sat down on
a comfy red couch and mingled with a group of hand-picked fans in an online chat
that touched on everything from if he can regain his winning ways to whether hes
still having fun playing golf. “Were excited about what were working on. I hadnt
played well in a couple of weeks but we know what it is,” Woods said of problems
in his swing that have been addressed by him and swing coach Sean Foley. “Its a
matter of getting reps in and getting the trust in it.” Woods took questions
from several fans including a sergeant with the Ohio National Guard, Olympic
triple-jump hopeful Erica McLain and others. NBC golf analyst Roger Maltbie also
participated in the 34-minute chat—called a “hangout.” Woods practiced at
Olympic earlier in the day. He said he hit a 9-iron into one green on the Lake
Course that bounced flag high. “Its going to be one heck of a test,” Woods said.
After playing in temperatures in the 40s, Woods—wearing a black cap and black
sweater with a blue shirt peeking through at the collar—went on a webcam for
his close-up. Woods has won 14 majors, but none since the 2008 U.S. Open. He was
headed Tuesday evening for the Memorial, founded by Jack Nicklaus, who won a
record 18 majors. That remains Woods ultimate goal. “I figure its going to take
a career,” Woods said. “It took Jack 24 years. This is my 17th year into it. I
still feel like Ive got plenty of time. Its about giving myself the most amount
of opportunities to win them on the back nine on Sunday. The more chances I give
myself, I figure Im going to clip a few of them.” There were few if any
revelations in the chat. This is the second time this year that Woods has not
met with reporters at a tournament but instead reached out to friends and fans
online. Speaking after a practice round at the Memorial, Masters champion
Bubba Watson was asked if he would consider going online to reach out to his
biggest fans. “Tigers online chat? I actually think its neat. I can see that
working out for me,” he said. “Again, I dont come to the media centre as much as
he does, so I still like this. I feel cool up here. Yeah, I could see doing
something like that, but Id still come to the local media and talk here. He does
it every week no matter how he plays, so its still new to me.” Watson has been
besieged by requests from sponsors, tournaments, media and others since his
dramatic win in April at Augusta National. He said hes just learning now what
its like to be in such demand. “Ive got a lot more friends than I used to have,”
he said with a wide grin. “I wasnt very popular before, but now Ive gotten a lot
more popular.” Questions on Woods website ranged from who he looked up to the
most as a kid to why he didnt recapture some of his old championship magic by
switching from Foley back to former swing coach Butch Harmon. Mixed in were some
responses from awed fans. “No questions,” wrote NateDogg8896. “Just wanted to
say youre the most amazing person on the planet.” Another poster wondered why
Woods is now wearing white golf shoes so often. After winning the Arnold Palmer
Invitational in late March, Woods came into the Masters as a favourite. He
finished tied for 40th there, missed the cut at the Wells Fargo and then tied
for 40th again at The Players two weeks ago. Woods said he still has fun playing
golf, despite the meltdown he had during the Masters that included kicking a
club and swearing. “I love competing, mixing it up with the guys, trying to beat
all of them,” Woods said. “Thats the rush, thats the fun. Obviously its a lot
more fun when youre winning than when youre 40th. Thats something Im still
working on.” J.J. Watt Youth Jersey . Condoms and other
