Woods played the front nine on Sunday and said his surgically repaired right leg - held together with pins, rods and screws - feels stronger than it did a month ago.
TULSA - Tiger Woods excited spectators and rivals alike with a back-nine practice round on Monday at Southern Hills, continuing his comeback from severe leg injuries before this week's PGA Championship.
"I'm excited," Woods told reporters Sunday. "I'm not going to play that much going forward, so anytime I do play, it's going to be fun." "If there's ever a question if Tiger can contend, we can all just kind of chuckle at that. Never is he going to be in a field where he can't contend," home-state hero Talor Gooch said.
"On my way to Southern Hills CC," tweeted DeChambeau. "Going to test how I am feeling over these next couple days and decide on whether to compete. Looking forward to being in Tulsa."
